Supported Hosts and Workflow Integration
Can be used as a plugin within major DAWs (such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, etc.; compatibility depends on versions), supporting automation and offline rendering to facilitate building mixing/mastering processing chains. It can also be paired with reference tracks and analysis tools or integrated into AI-assisted mixing workflows: an assistant can first suggest target frequency areas, and this plugin can then be used for fine-tuning and A/B comparison to ensure transparent and reproducible processing.
