Description

 

  • Smooth Operator Pro removes the bloated frequency energy your tracks don’t need 
  • Achieve clarity in your mixes by eliminating mud, harsh resonances and masking
  • Fix specific problem areas with surgical control or re-shape the tonal balance entirely

INSTANT TRACK OPTIMIZER

We’ve engineered the new Pro version without compromising on the fast workflow that made Smooth Operator 1 so popular.

Set the desired target curve, then turn the global threshold knob until the plugin starts rebalancing your audio. Dive into deep settings optionally for total control.

Smooth Operator Pro removes fatiguing frequency energy as and where it occurs, improving your audio’s clarity. Dial it in gently and it will feel like lifting a blanket from your speakers.

RESONANCE SUPPRESSION 2.0

Where other spectral balancers offer global settings to affect the signal, Smooth Operator Pro brings unprecedented depth: Overwrite the global settings for any frequency node to set individual dynamic profiles across the spectrum.

Examples (within the same plugin instance):
■ Target the left side at 7500 hz to fix a harsh cymbal.
■ Address only the sides at 150 hz to clean up the bass.
■ Tame a vocal at 2.5 khz with a softer compression profile.

SMOOTH(ER) OPERATOR

We’ve listened and learned. The all-new Pro version incorporates four years of user feedback since V1.

■ Enhanced performance and sound quality
■ Full control over all dynamic and imaging parameters
■ Freely add and remove nodes across the spectrum
■ Create individual dynamic processing profiles per node
■ Two cutting-edge correction algorithms: Even and Skew

    solid alternative to soothe2

    the UI is definitely way to understand and is basically soothe. I still use soothe, but this has its place in a more of a space shaping way as opposed to a tone shaping way

    Baby one more time

    This plug in has a lot of clever functions, and does what it does quite well. Don't expect an "automix / make it workizer" if you just slam it on everything.

    Easy to get too much of a good thing tho you'll learn to back it off a tad.

    It sometimes lack a bit of granularity in the way you can set up, and the metering is not really helpful to know how much of what you're carving out.

    No autogain make up - not a big deal but would have been convinient.

    So I'd use it more as a sort of "coarse dynamic colour" than "resonnance supressor" or fine comb tweaker.

    P.S. too much detail and focus makes it fuzzy.

    Oh, and at the time of wrinting (may 2025 on Logic 11.1.1 on Apple M4Pro) tends to crash when multiple instances are being used in a session.

    But great colour scheme I guess
