INTELLIGENT SERIES 01 / LEARN-BASED EQ

AMATERASEQ Fix

A pro-level EQ curve,

in just a few seconds.

Insert it, press LEARN, and play. EQ Fix listens to the overall tonal balance and builds a natural, musical correction curve in seconds. Keep it as-is or shape it further: either way, you start closer to the finish.

01 / THE ROLE OF EQ

THE SHORTEST PATH TO FINISH

THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF EQUALIZATION

Equalization was originally madeto equalize
tonal imbalance.

AMATERAS EQ Fix returns EQ to that original role—in seconds. It reduces what stands out, restores what is missing, and brings the sound back to a natural balance.

A result you can keep.
A starting point you can build on.

The best starting balanceis the shortest path to the finish.

02 / BEFORE & AFTER

03 / THREE STEPS

INSERT · LEARN · ADJUST

Insert.
Let it listen.
Balanced.

Twenty seconds later, the foundation of your EQ is in place.

No need to begin with dense spectrum analysis or dozens of narrow bands. Choose a preset, press LEARN, then make the final call with your ears.

01 / INSERTChoose a starting point.

Insert EQ Fix on a track and select the preset that fits the job.

02 / LEARNLet it listen.

Play the song and press LEARN. Listening time can be set from 1 to 30 seconds.

03 / ADJUSTDecide with your ears.

Use STRENGTH and MAX to set how far the generated curve should go.

04 / LEARN

LONG-TERM SPECTRAL ANALYSIS

Not the peak.The pattern behind the sound.

Instead of chasing momentary peaks, EQ Fix measures the average spectrum over the listening period. It identifies tonal tendencies that persist across the track and draws only the correction that is needed. Results are saved with the project.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your audio
never leaves your computer.

Spectrum analysis and curve generation happen entirely inside the plugin. No audio upload. No account login. No license authorization.

05 / MUSICAL TARGET

NOT A MECHANICAL FLATTENING

Music is not meantto be flat.

The target is not a mechanically flat pink-noise response. It follows the average spectrum of real music: a natural midrange slope with gentle roll-offs at both ends.

TONEChoose the slope.

Move the target slope to suit the source and the music.

ROLLOFFKeep the edges natural.

The low and high ends converge gently with the natural energy of music.

PINK-TILT DISPLAYLevel means balanced.

The compensated display makes the source's tonal state easy to read at a glance.

06 / LIMITS

CHOOSE WHAT NOT TO TOUCH

Choose what to shape—and what to leave untouched.

Automatic does not mean giving up control. Set the lower and upper correction limits to protect the parts of the sound you shaped intentionally.

LF LIMIT

Protect the low end.

Preserve the weight you built into a bass or kick, or keep unwanted vocal lows outside the analysis. No corrective EQ is applied below the limit.

HF LIMIT

Protect the high end.

Preserve a guitar cabinet's natural upper boundary or a deliberately dark tone. No corrective EQ is applied above the limit.

ALWAYS-ON HPFVariable from 20–150 Hz. Quietly clears unwanted sub-bass before correction.

07 / PHASE & GAIN

TRUSTWORTHY DECISIONS

Protect phase.
Judge tone, not loudness.

LINEAR PHASEPreserve phase relationships.

For masters and stereo sources. Corrects tone without disturbing phase.

NATURAL PHASEFast and immediate.

For mono tracks. Minimum-phase processing with zero latency.

AUTO GAINRemove the louder-is-better bias.

Automatically matches level before and after correction for an honest tonal comparison.
