smart:comp is the latest addition to the product line of A.I. powered plug-ins by sonible. When activating the 'learning mode' of smart:comp, the plug-in analyzes the incoming audio signal and sets specific parameters. By continuously analyzing the input signal across more than 2000 bands, smart:comp "acts like an intelligent, ultra-high-resolution multiband compressor that dynamically smoothes out tonal imbalances". It only applies compression where it is really needed and therefore ensures a consistent tonal and dynamic balance at all times. Similar to sonible’s smart:EQ 2, the new compressor plug-in smart:comp comes equipped with profiles for different audio sources.
