Sonible smart:chain - THE BEST IT CAN BE

Sonible smart:chain - THE BEST IT CAN BE

Sonible is the company known for making plugins that listen before they engage processing, and they just pushed their limit with smart:chain, an intelligent channel strip that analyzes the incoming audio signal and uses that analysis to set up an entire chain of processing.

Diving Deeper Into The smart:chain

Smart:chain is a channel strip that features EQ, compression, de-harshing, gating, input riding, saturation and leveling into one plugin. Instances communicate and connect with each other across the session, so it’s extremely easy to control them all within a single instance.

What Sets It Apart

What sets smart:chain apart is the intelligence underneath. Instead of asking you to dial in each stage from zero, smart:chain analyzes the incoming audio signal and gives you some great starting points for every single module within the chain. You’re absolutely able to readjust every single module and adapt it to your creativity and preference, so you’re not forced to use the exact settings smart:chain generated.

A Strip Full of Sauce

Smart:chain works like this: EQ handles tone, compression gives the tightness and control, deharshing tames resonances and harsh frequencies, gating ensures the control over the noise floor, input riding evens out the performance, saturation adds character and fullness while leveling keeps the signal at the right volume.

Reminder: You’re free to adjust every single parameter to your taste and preference.

It’s a Team

I personally visualize smart:chain as a team, since each instance communicates with the other ones across your session. From any instance you get centralized session control, groups, track navigation and access to every smart:chain in the project. It merges the whole project into one single window.

Front – Middle – Back

Using Groups, smart:chain offers intelligent depth staging that places elements in Front, Middle and Back layers. Instead of guessing what you should do, you assign a role and smart:chain does the job.

Auto Leveling

Smart:chain studies the relationships between the track it has learned and builds a genre-aware rough balance for the session. It gives you a starting mix allowing you to fully adjust it later and build your decisions around it.

Who smart:chain is For

Smart:chain fits producers and engineers who mainly mix in the box and want a quicker workflow that can be transformed into a professional work. Beginners can really benefit from this as smart:chain can be used as a learning tool to educate yourself on how to set the levels, adjust the EQ, compression, gating, saturation & more.

Do I Recommend It

Yes, a very big YES. The reason is that you can actually get really fast at mixing and fully readjust your session to your preference. If you’re a beginner, this is where I would highly advise checking it out as it can help you learn and progress much faster than just scrolling through an endless loop of plugins, trying many of them and not really learning anything.
