Really, are you threatend by it ? You are'nt that insecure are you? let the people decide for themselves, they can get your money back. They only added the automatic function under pressure from the users.Does anyone consider the fact that it keeps the volume equal after changing the spectrum for A/B comparisons? No getting fooled because it's louder. Whilst voxegno's curve eq and others get off scott free.Īll the documentation and the forums have the authors of the product recommending against it. It is curious that while har-bal is constantly bashed for its curve matching ( which was only recently made to have an automatic ability) , The developer might have added support for higher bit depths. Id be curious to see if some of you like this better then Har Bal. But in general, if you have a pretty nice mix already and render out the 50 band Fir. It doesn't understand when its jacking up your mix. And then theres other times Ive seen it give me a EQ suggestion that totally fried the low end in my mix. But Ive used it a few times with its reference files and EQ suggestions and the results are pretty damn good. I agree its probably better to have a human mastering your tracks rather then a program.

I think its a useful tool for just analyzing the spectrum of your mixes and then AT LEAST checking out the EQ suggestions for creating better mixes to be mastered later. Then it will look at that reference file and your mix, and make a EQ preset that will adjust frequencies to match the reference. So you have it analyze your wav file, Once its done, you load that file "The source" and then you load a reference (which can be either a song you like, or the preset reference files they have. This one is cool because it will create a Preset/s for Elemental Audio's Firium 50-band EQ for your suggested EQ settings. Theres also another program called AAMS - Auto Audio Mastering System - which i think its actually MUCH better then Har-Bal.
