Up Your Compression Game - Audio Compression Powered by AI

Incredible Sound – Your Tracks Deserve Nothing Less

smart:comp 2’s AI-powered automatic parametrization, spectral compression, and ducking abilities when used with an external sidechain all aim for one goal: clean, well-balanced compression results that remain true to your input signal – no matter whether you are working on single instruments, instrument busses or entire mixes. By analyzing the characteristics of your material, its intelligent processing will enhance transparency and preserve crucial details without compromising the integrity of the signal. Supported by such a sound base you are free to go ahead and let your creativity flow. sonible’s smart:engine drives the intelligent processing of smart:comp 2. It’s a content-aware system based on deep learning technology, a vast amount of data, psychoacoustic principles and extensive hands-on mixing experience. Choose a profile and let smart:comp 2 learn your track. The plug-in takes only a few seconds to deliver extremely precise compression results. 

Tap The Full Potential Of Shaping Dynamics - Inspiration hits with more possibilities

Shaping dynamics to achieve distinctive sounds has never been easier than with smart:comp 2. This exceptionally versatile compressor is packed with features that enable you to give any track your unique vibe. Gradually shape the character of the compressor with the style dial and give your results a darker or brighter vibe using the color dial. The free-form transfer function with its templates allows you to achieve sophisticated level mapping. You can also fine-tune the temporal attack and release behavior without restrictions and apply a different compression to the ambience and center by using mid/side processing.

Everything You Need At A Glance - Smooth handling and real-time monitoring

Working with smart:comp 2 is straightforward and intuitive. All crucial compression parameters take center stage – their handling will feel as familiar as working with a common single band compressor. With input level riding you can focus directly on shaping the dynamics of your track instead of worrying about level issues. Having more insight means making better informed decisions. smart:comp 2 provides you with real-time monitoring elements such as instant impact prediction which immediately reflects every parameter change across the entire signal, compression mapping and an RMS level histogram that outlines the overall dynamics of a track.

smart:comp 2 is an invaluable assistant – whether you're a mastering/mixing professional or an aspiring talent.
