What it does
smart:chain is a channel-strip-style plugin combining several processors that share one analysis of the audio.
- Modules: EQ, compression, de-harshing, gating, input riding, saturation and leveling.
- Starting points: a single analysis proposes settings for all modules, all editable.
- Depth staging: Front, Middle and Back placement.
- Session control: project-wide auto leveling with genre-aware balance, and one view across all instances and groups.
When to use it
A fast start for mixing whole sessions: put it on every track and it sets a balanced first mix. It is one plugin instead of a stack of individual smart: plugins, but with less detail in each stage. Suits pop, electronic and band demos.
