How this example was made
Only Balance is processing: Balance, running as its own plug-in, with its factory preset "Dense Master", on a Splice sample. Both versions are loudness matched with a constant gain, so the change cannot win by being louder. No other processing is added.
A first pass
Start with what you hear.
Name the problem
Too much, too little, or not like the reference? Decide which before you touch anything.
Fence it in
Set Low and High Limit around the problem and a modest Range, then raise Tame or Recover.
Set the pace
Adjust Speed until the correction follows the song without pumping, then compare with bypass.
Questions
About Balance.
Is Balance a replacement for Sculpt?
No. Balance handles broad tone that changes over time. Sculpt is for the specific moves you already know you want: this frequency, this much, this wide.
Should every mix get a large correction range?
No. A small range suits a mix that is already close. The wider settings are for sources that need an obvious change.
Which formats are available?
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), and macOS 10.15 or later on Apple silicon and Intel. Both have VST3 for your DAW and a standalone application, and the Mac installer adds Audio Units. One purchase covers both platforms: download whichever installer you need from your account.
How do updates work?
Updates are free for as long as we make them. Sign in at your account with the email address you bought with and download the current version. Installing it replaces the plug-in in place, so your presets and existing projects are untouched.
Can I hear it before I buy?
Yes. Every module has a before-and-after example on its page. If you buy and it isn't for you, email us within thirty days for a full refund, no questions asked. See terms and refunds.
