With TRACT and Smaart Di v2, you can quickly get any sound system to sound its best, providing a well-balanced foundation for happy mixing. The plugin lets you take and merge up to 8 measurement snapshots of your system, create a reference curve as the basis for EQ corrections, and quickly generate a corrective FIR EQ curve. Since all sound systems behave differently in each environment, we need to calibrate our system before mixing in a live setting, this is known as tuning the PA. Get any sound system balanced and ready for mixing, quickly and easily.
