Baby Audio Smooth Operator Pro Dynamic Spectral Balancer - Electronic Delivery

Product Description

Baby Audio Smooth Operator Pro is a dynamic spectral balancer and a vastly expanded successor of Smooth Operator which helps you achieve cleaner mixes by removing the bloated frequency energy your tracks don't need. Smooth operator Pro lets you fix specific problem areas with surgical control - or re-shape the entire tonal balance.

The Pro version incorporates four years of user feedback since V1:

• Enhanced performance and sound quality
• Full control over all dynamic and imaging parameters
• Two correction algorithms: Even and Skew
• Freely add and remove nodes across the spectrum
• Create individual dynamic processing profiles per node

HOW IT WORKS?

Think of it like a multi-band compressor with infinite bands. When the sonic energy in any of these bands surpasses the threshold, the plug-in attenuates it. Because the frequency spectrum is split into unlimited bands, even very narrow problems like resonances can be removed without affecting the rest of the signal. Using the 'FOCUS' parameters, you can set how fragmented you want the processing to be, up to essentially thousands of bands (high DETAIL + ISOLATION settings). Freely add and remove frequency nodes to design your ideal threshold curve and target certain frequency areas more or less.

INSTANT TRACK CLEANER

Baby Audio engineered the Pro version without compromising on the fast workflow that made Smooth Operator 1 so popular. Set the desired target curve, then turn the global threshold knob until the plug-in starts balancing your audio. Dive into deep settings optionally for total control. Smooth Operator Pro removes fatigued frequency energy in realtime, improving your audio’s clarity. Dial it in gently and it will feel like lifting a blanket from your speakers.

RESONANCE SUPPRESSION 2.0

Where other resonance suppressors offer global settings to affect the signal, Smooth Operator Pro brings unprecedented depth: Overwrite the global settings for any frequency node to set individual dynamic profiles across the spectrum.

Examples (within the same plug-in instance):

• Target the left side at 7500 Hz to fix a harsh cymbal
• Address only the sides at 150 Hz to clean up the bass
• Tame a vocal at 2.5 kHz with a softer compression profile

PRO-LEVEL SPECTRAL WORKSTATION

Spectral Processing manipulates the building blocks that make up a digital signal. By splitting a sound into its individual components, the plug-in rebalances the harmonic material with less artifacts than traditional mixing tools. Smooth Operator Pro brings surgical control over your sound at the DNA level. Fixing problems is only the beginning: Use the plug-in to dramatically re-shape the tonal balance and bring out the best in every track.
