Multiple instances can be remotely controlled from a single window, with Group View showing/editing EQ curves across the group.

New features include genre-based Mix Profiles and a Reference Profile to emulate a track’s character, Dynamic EQ bands (Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Range), Smoothing for gentler filtering, Auto Gain, comprehensive M/S processing, and customizable learning time for the smart:filter.

BALANCE is a 16-channel adaptive EQ that shapes the global frequency response by matching your audio to a target curve set with SLOPE, WEIGHTING, BASS, and AIR controls. It works like a match EQ but with tilt-EQ simplicity and zynaptiq-style sound.

It uses proprietary minimum-phase filters for pristine audio, only 3 samples of latency, and very low CPU, avoiding pre-ringing common in linear-phase designs. A GPU-accelerated Metal/Direct 3D analyzer keeps CPU load low; the display can be hidden in a compact EASY view.

Features include global EQ amount control, wet gain scaled by EQ amount, 12 dB/oct low/high-cut filters, optional double-precision processing, a fully vectorized scalable UI, and support for immersive workflows up to 16 channels.

PUNCH is an intelligent dynamics contouring tool that adds musical punch and shape to sounds, stems, or full mixes. It uses source-separation-inspired, statistics-based processing across up to 100+ minimum-phase bands to enhance transients, attack impact, or smooth dynamics—even on heavily compressed material.

Two algorithms (CRYSTAL and SMOOTH) reconstruct audio via 10 or 100+ ultra-clean bands, while BIAS controls enable easy frequency-dependent shaping via visual hover menus. A transparent oversampled/multi-band output clipper, zero latency, and support for up to 16 channels round out the feature set.

95% are using Dolby Atmos the wrong way – it doesn t start at the mixing stage

Many people associate Dolby Atmos primarily with impressive speaker installations or sophisticated studio technology. In reality, however, immersive production often begins much earlier – with arrangement, sound design, and the question of how a song should work spatially. This philosophy is at the heart of Claudio Jans s Crownjam Studio and is also explored in depth in his new book, Thinking Dolby Atmos.
