smartEQ.

I had the opportunity to meet up for coffee with a freelance client the other night. He gave me a demo of the project I collaborated on with Elaine. smartEQ is in the final testing phases, but here's a sneak peak of the GarageBand plug-in (which will eventually be available for download).

smartEQ is a novel way to interact with an audio equalizer, perhaps the most common tool used in audio production. Instead of directly adjusting esoteric processing parameters, the user simply rates the extent to which each of a small number of example settings capture the sound that they are looking for. smartEQ then uses these ratings to determine what is the optimal setting for the user. smartEQ is an audio plug-in that will be available in VST, AU, and RTAS for both Mac and Windows platforms.
