RELEASE READY · SURGICAL EQ

WAVEFRONT

A linear-phase surgical parametric EQ, the chain's final precision move. Frequency-sampling FIR design with Blackman-Harris windowing keeps truncation ringing tightly controlled.

The Wavefront interface, surgical, linear-phase, preset-free.

WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD

Surgical EQ, built at the DSP level.

LINEAR PHASE

Click-free live updates

A hand-built partitioned convolution engine (512-sample partitions, shared frequency-domain history) swaps filter curves mid-drag at 0.00000004 dB of deviation, not the -147 dB dropout stock JUCE convolution produces.

SURGEON

Adaptive resonance suppression

A continuously updating threshold curve, adaptive ~8s EMA, or frozen, drives downward-only gain reduction on anything that pokes above it, consuming zero bands.

DYNAMIC EQ

Per-band dynamics, any channel

Each of 16 bands carries its own RBJ-bandpass-detected threshold, ratio, attack and release section, targetable independently to Stereo, Mid, Side, Left or Right.

ROUTING

Three-stage M/S/L/R bus chain

A 5-bus engine derives Mid/Side then Left/Right from the stereo signal, all three stages running simultaneously at a fixed, always-reported latency.

RESONANCE HUNTER

Automatic problem-frequency detection

Integrates ~6 seconds of Mid/Side spectral prominence and proposes up to 6 EQ moves as ghost nodes, click to confirm, nothing applies on its own.

MATCH

Drag-and-match tonal correction

Drop a reference file on MATCH and Wavefront analyzes its spectrum offline, then builds a level-anchored, ±9dB-clamped correction curve against your own program material.

ZERO LATENCY MODE

Switch engines when you need speed

Flip out of Linear Phase into a minimum-phase biquad engine for tracking and live work, same EQ curve, zero added latency, then switch back for the final master.
