Waves Audio has announced a new trio of plugins, the Curves Spectral Series, which it claims will help do your EQ for you.
The first plugin in the trilogy, the Curves Equator, focuses on resonance suppression and will be available this month. The next two plugins will arrive next year and are set to focus on traditional audio equalisation and EQ matching respectively.
In a new video hosted by Product Manager Shai Fishman, he claims: “You may never EQ again… if we succeed.”
“We know you know how to EQ,” Fishman continues. “If you think about EQ technology, it hasn’t really advanced in the last 30 years. We thought there had to be a better way to get rid of Q’s and frequencies and nodes and all that stuff that’s really tedious and technical about EQ. Why not have the technology do the work for you? Go where you want to go, without worrying about the technical aspects?”
Fishman later explains how the Curves plugins together can effectively “do the EQ for you” with artificial intelligence. “It listens to your content,” he says. “Each plugin in the Curves series can learn your audio. Equator stabilises and protects it from anomalies. The next plugin will be able to EQ for you and even provide you with a few options, and the last plugin will be able to match any target you give it. It’s going to minimise errors, it’s going to actually do the work for you with a very intuitive GUI that allows you to control a lot of technology with very simple and basic functions.”
In June, Waves was one of 50 companies to sign a set of guidelines called Principles for Music Creation with AI, which advocated for the responsible use of AI in music creation. The guidelines seek to protect the rights of musicians as generative AI technology develops, while also acknowledging that AI can be an empowering tool if used correctly.
Waves says the Curves Equator, the first plugin in the Curves Spectral Series – will arrive September 2024. And as we’re nearing the end of the month, we’re betting the release is imminent.
