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.

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.
