Curves AQ is Waves' automatic equalizer, built around the idea that corrective EQ should start from an analysis of what the audio actually needs rather than from guesswork. The plugin examines the incoming signal and applies a tonal balance correction, giving a neutral, mix-ready starting point quickly. The typical workflow is to place it on a source or bus, let it analyse, and then refine by hand — rather than spending the first minutes of every mix chasing the same frequency problems. It is positioned for producers and engineers who want speed and consistency in the early stages of a mix, where relative balance matters more than surgical precision. It suits mixing and mastering across genres where a reliable baseline is useful before creative EQ decisions begin. It runs in VST3, AU, and AAX formats on macOS and Windows, supports Intel and Apple Silicon CPUs, and is compatible with major DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, FL Studio, and Reaper. #CurvesAQ #Waves #AutomaticEQ #EQ #Equalizer #Mixing #Mastering #TonalBalance #SmartEQ #MixBalance #MusicProduction #MixingPlugin #VST3 #AU #AAX #ProTools #LogicPro #AbletonLive #Cubase #StudioOne
