Planar - Intelligent Spectral Balancing
BruceJames Studio

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IT IS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planar continuously analyses your signal's tonal balance and gently corrects it
toward a target curve, band by band. Put it on a single track to even out a
problem source, or on the mix bus for transparent, hands-off tonal balancing.

QUICK START
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Phase: leave ON (linear phase) for mixing/mastering; turn OFF (minimum phase)
  for tracking or low-latency monitoring.
- Transient: raise it to let drum hits and transients punch through uncorrected.
- Mix: blend the corrected signal against the original.
