OneMove Resonance & Balance

OneMove Resonance & Balance is a pair of plug-ins in development at OneMove Audio. Resonance is designed to find harsh resonances as they happen and turn them down only while they ring. Balance is a perceptual unmasking EQ, designed to rebalance a sound continuously and make room for a voice.

Resonance

A fixed EQ cut stays on all the time, even when the harshness is gone. Resonance is designed to act only at the frequencies and the moments that need it, so a sound can lose its sharp edges without losing its tone. It works on any sound: a voice, an instrument or a mix.

Balance

When two parts share the same frequencies, the louder one hides the quieter one. That is masking. Balance is designed to listen to the whole spectrum and keep adjusting it, instead of holding one fixed curve, turning down what crowds a sound and lifting what is buried.

How do they relate to OneMove Vocal Console?

OneMove Vocal Console is a complete chain for the voice, and its Tame module handles harshness and sibilance inside that chain. Resonance and Balance are for what surrounds the voice, such as a music bus or a mix. Both are planned to listen to the vocal over Key Link, so the music can make room for the singer. Balance is planned to turn the music down only in the voice's own frequency bands, and only while the voice is there.

Which desktop tools do these jobs?

On desktop computers, resonance control is best known from oeksound soothe, and unmasking EQ from Soundtheory Gullfoss. We name them only so you know the categories. Resonance and Balance are our own designs, and we have published no comparison with either. When we do, it will be on our comparisons page, with the method.

Questions

What is a resonance suppressor?

A plug-in that watches a sound's spectrum and briefly turns down narrow peaks that stand out from their surroundings. It is used on harsh vocals, boxy instruments and bright mixes.

What is an unmasking EQ?

An equaliser that changes continuously according to what you would actually hear, reducing the parts of a sound that hide other parts and lifting the parts that are hidden.
