AudioBrain FocusRoot EQ for macOS (AU/VST3) - dynamic EQ that follows the fundamental and harmonicshttps://youtu.be/pH9o8SImFtg?si=eJHdnpAHxUSUgjXH Hi everyone, I just released 'FocusRoot EQ', a pitch-aware dynamic EQ for macOS ('AU / VST3', universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel). The idea is simple: Most "clarity" tools push the top end. 'FocusRoot EQ' does something different. It estimates the fundamental, tracks the harmonic series, and pushes the root/harmonic spine forward so the source feels more focused and more present without turning into a generic high-frequency lift. Current feature set: - YIN-based pitch detection. - harmonic consistency check and confidence scoring. - confidence-aware safe behavior when detection is weak. - dynamic bell boosts on 'f0', '2f0', and '3f0' - light dynamic cuts around inharmonic areas. - transient protection so attacks do not get flattened too aggressively. - live UI with current 'f0', confidence, harmonic markers, EQ contour, and spectrum. Modes: - Vocal. - Bass. - Guitar. - Piano. - Drums. - Taiko. - Metal. - Winds. Controls: - Focus. - Tightness. - Tracking. What it is good at: - bringing note definition forward. - making bass feel more readable in the mids. - helping vocals feel centered without just adding top. - giving percussion and resonant material more body focus. Current release: - macOS only. - AU / VST3. - universal binary. Link: - Gumroad: 'https://kiyohbimbo.gumroad.com/l/bstmcc' If you try it, I would really like to hear: - which sources it works best on for you. - where tracking feels great. - where it should back off more. Thanks. # Short KVR Database Blurb.
