Waves TRACT System Calibration Room EQ and Time Alignment Plug-in (Download)

Turn any sound system into a well-balanced foundation for your mixes, quickly and easily.

The TRACT plugin integrates with Smaart®, the industry-standard audio analysis software from Rational Acoustics, to auto-correct EQ issues and time-align any sound system.Just as a painter needs a clean canvas to begin painting, mixers need a well-balanced sound system for mixing.Since every sound system is different and behaves differently in each environment, we need to calibrate the system to smooth out its performance; in a live setting, this is known as tuning the PA.If not tuned, the system’s frequency response will behave erratically: music may sound different than we’re used to, and our mixing adjustments will not respond as we expect.

Worse, if a system is not time-aligned, there may be phase cancellation affecting valuable low-frequency impact.
