Smarter resonance suppression & frequency unmasking
Perfect Balance. Zero Resonance. Your Mix, Unmasked.
Curves Equator is a smarter resonance suppression plugin. It immediately improves any full mix, vocal, instrument or sample by removing problematic frequencies, fixing resonances and balancing inconsistencies.
Additionally, it canlearnyour content & safeguard your work with a personalized suppression curve to avoid overprocessing. It offers groundbreaking frequency unmasking by learning the sidechain of a clashing source and dynamically applying the inverse curve on the part you’re mixing.
Equator is the first in our new Curves Spectral Series of plugins, which pioneers the evolution of EQ. Two more Curves plugins will be available in early 2025: Welcome to your first self-driving EQs!

Personalized Resonance Suppression
Fix the Bad Stuff
Most sources have some issues. Just because they’re being masked by your room, your speakers, or other instruments, it doesn’t mean they’re not there.
This is why we made Equator. Simply bring the Equator line down – you’ll hear the blanket lifted off your mix.
Safeguard the Good Stuff
Most other solutions are one-size-fits-all. They process your sound via a generic average curve, often harming the unique sound you created.
By ‘Learning’ your audio, Equator gives you a personalized suppression curve, protecting against anomalies and imbalances and avoiding overprocessing.
Everything in its Right Place
‘Learning’ via sidechain can create some truly magical results in your mix, where sources will no longer clash in the same frequencies.
If the vocals are most important, you can ‘SC Learn’ the vocal curve and apply its inverse shape on the instrument bus to carve perfect space for both.
TIP:When using the Rider feature for dynamic carving, the louder the SC audio, the more carving occurs.
Choose Your Flavor of Balanced
Some problems are objective, and we fix all those. But some are subjective, and not everyone has the same idea of balanced.
That’s why we have the Shape & Tilt controls, which adjust the target for the processing according to your taste.
TIP:Use Learn to capture a healthy part of your audio as a template. Equator will then process the rest of the signal to match it.
Same Energy, Better Sound
Resonance suppression using regular or dynamic EQ can quickly kill the vibe by overprocessing the problem areas.
Equator has a unique Dynamic Auto Makeup Gain feature which matches the input RMS by boosting the volume of the frequencies you don’t attenuate. This can be toggled on/off.
Advanced Control
There’s no shortage of additional features under the hood including 4 customizable processing bands, 8 nodes and a host of parameters for tweaking.
