Field notes

Panoramica

Mastering The Mix CARBON Q is an eleven-band EQ for a whole session. A MIX instance on the output connects to agents on vocals, music, drums, and bass, so tone and level for each part can be set from one window. Smart Presets come from an analysis of the song, or from a reference track separated into stems on your machine.

Moves are level matched. The filters are linear phase at 41 ms. It runs as VST3, AU, and AAX on macOS 10.15 or later and Windows 10 or later. The launch price is $55 from $78. For the full breakdown, see the CARBON Q first look.
