Waves Curves AQ

Everyone is trying to create a smart EQ, but none use truly generative technology. Often they apply a take-it or leave-it preset curve and dont let you under the hood. Thats why we created Curves AQ – the worlds first autonomous EQ. AQ learns your audio, decides what sound it should have and creates 5 unique EQ profiles you can choose from. These are not presets – but original spectral curves based on the natural qualities of your audio, be it vocals, instruments or full mixes. And beyond AI tools that either hit or miss the mark, AQ has 5 powerfully reimagined EQ controls to personalize & perfect your sound. Spectral Targeting Technology The white curve you see is your sound destination – we call this the “Spectral Target” – and you get a choice of 5 targets. Adjusting the Spectral Target feels like a regular EQ, but youre actually adjusting the EQs destination – and the processing adapts to get you there. Boosting & Cutting The blue (cuts) & red (boosts) represent the actual processing AQ does to bring your sound to the Spectral Target. You can adjust the amount of boosting and cutting you want, both globally & per band. Static & Dynamic EQ Some tracks need the tightness of static EQ, others require the adaptiveness of dynamic EQ. You can adjust AQ to work completely dynamically, statically, or with any combination. Smart Tilt This isnt a regular tilt EQ. This is a powerful tilt that lets you adjust the overall shape of the spectral target. The processing follows with powerful yet adaptive tonal adjustments. Offset Offset lets you shift the target curve along the X-axis and adjust where the fundamental frequency sits. It shifts the curve & harmonics to scale and can offer a wildly creative effect. 4 Frequency Anchors With each instruments “Learn”, the Neural Network creates 4 anchors tailored to the frequency spectrum of your track. This gives you a simple way to adjust the low end, fundamental, harmonics & air of your source.
