There’s “no need to ask”: Baby Audio’s renowned sound-shaping tool has been reborn, more powerful and pliable than ever, with Smooth Operator Pro. This intelligent spectral-balancer plug-in takes up the mantle of its predecessor to give you real-time analysis and visual feedback that actively and automatically sculpts your sound. Using what Baby Audio refers to as “a small army of adaptive EQs and compressors,” Smooth Operator Pro is constantly working to maximize the clarity, fluidity, and articulation of your tracks, effortlessly tackling instruments, vocals, and mix buses with equal precision. Its multiband compression is always monitoring for incoming audio, and the level of granular depth you can engage is tantamount to having infinite bands to control and redeploy your sonic energy to bolster every part of your sound. Sweetwater’s studio mavens agree: with global enhancements to your suite of contouring capabilities, audio fidelity, and under-the-hood performance joining revamped control over correction algorithms, dynamics controls, imaging parameters, and customizable node placement, Baby Audio’s Smooth Operator Pro more than earns its place as a successor to the first-gen plug-in — bring the best out of your sound!
