The \u003cstrong\u003eWaves TRACT System Calibration\u003c\/strong\u003e plug-in integrates with Smaart, the industry-standard audio analysis software from Rational Acoustics, to auto-correct EQ issues and time-align any sound system.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eJust as a painter needs a clean canvas to begin painting, mixers need a well-balanced sound system for mixing. Since every sound system is different and behaves differently in each environment, we need to calibrate the system to smooth out its performance; in a live setting, this is known as tuning the PA.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf not tuned, the system’s frequency response will behave erratically: music may sound different than we’re used to, and our mixing adjustments will not respond as we expect. Worse, if a system is not time-aligned, there may be phase cancellation affecting valuable low-frequency impact. In many cases, access to the system processors is limited and there’s limited time before sound check. At these times especially, TRACT will save the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTRACT calculates a corrective FIR EQ curve and time alignment corrections using data from Smaart v8 or Di v2. Quickly take and merge up to 8 measurement snapshots of your system, and select a reference as the basis for your EQ corrections. Four common reference curves are included, or create and save your own reference presets.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the FIR EQ is calculated, you can manipulate it by changing the reference curve, limiting its frequency and amplitude ranges, or by supplementing it with up to 8 bands of IIR EQ filters. IIR filter shapes include: Bell, Low\/High Shelves, Flat-Tops, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley curves, a Tilt EQ with a variable frequency pivot point, and an All-Pass filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug-in includes a minimal-phase FIR component, which works at very low latency and with low phase distortion, as well as a linear-phase FIR component. You can use it in a live setting with any mixing console (via Waves MultiRack), with the eMotion LV1 mixer, or you can use it within any major DAW.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith TRACT and Smaart, you can quickly and easily get any sound system to perform its very best, providing a well-balanced foundation – a clean canvas – for happy, accurate mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waves Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450293481575,"sku":"103059","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/waves-tract-system-calibration_103059_1_6477cca0-a591-4bc8-b267-04edda18917b.jpg?v=1787092489","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/waves-tract-system-calibration-electronic-delivery","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
