Turn any sound system into a well-balanced base for your mixes, quickly and easily. The TRACT plug-in integrates with Smaart ® , Rational Acoustics' industry-standard audio analysis software, to automatically correct EQ issues and time-align any sound system.
Just as a painter needs a clean canvas to start painting, mixers need a well-balanced sound system for mixing. As every sound system is different and behaves differently in each environment, we need to calibrate the system to smooth its performance; in a live environment, this is known as adjusting the PA.
If not tuned, the system's frequency response will behave erratically: the music it may look different from what we're used to and our mix settings won't respond as we expect. Worse yet, if a system is not time-aligned, there can be a phase cancellation affecting a valuable low-frequency impact. In many cases, access to system processors is limited and time is limited before sound verification. At these times, especially, TRACT will save the day.
TRACT calculates a corrective FIR EQ curve and time alignment corrections using Smaart v8 or Di v2 data. Quickly take and merge up to 8 measurement snapshots of your system and select a reference as the basis for your EQ corrections. Four common reference curves are included, or create and save your own reference presets.
Once the FIR EQ has been calculated, you can manipulate it by changing the curve by limiting its frequency and amplitude ranges, or supplementing it with up to 8 bands of IIR EQ filters. IIR filter shapes include: Bell curves, Low / High Shelves, Flat-Tops, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley, a Slope EQ with a variable frequency pivot point and an All-Pass filter.
The plug-in includes a minimum phase FIR component, which works with very low latency and low phase distortion, as well as a linear phase FIR component. You can use it in a live environment with any mixing console (via Waves MultiRack ), with the eMotion LV1 mixer, or with any main DAW.
With with TRACT and Smaart, you can quickly and easily achieve any sound system with the best performance, providing a well-balanced base - a clean screen - for a happy and accurate mixing.
