Its core library includes new presets and content from EZmix and EZmix 2. Presets can include up to ten adjustable macros, plus controls and meters such as dry/wet, gain, gain reduction, and LUFS. Users can stack presets in their chosen order and fine-tune the resulting chains. AI-assisted presets analyze incoming audio to tailor processing, and mastering tools analyze a mix to adapt the mastering treatment. Guitar and bass features include analysis of unprocessed DI signals and AI amp captures based on actual signal chains. EZmix 3 runs on Windows 10 or newer and macOS 10.13 or higher, with a standalone app; plugin use requires a 64-bit host supporting VST 3, AU, or AAX. The listed regular product costs EUR 149.00 once. An upgrade costs EUR 69.00 once for eligible owners of a previous EZmix version, with eligibility checked after login.
FUSER
FUSER is an audio plugin that detects frequency clashes between tracks and reduces them dynamically, helping competing parts occupy space in a mix. Resolve Conflicts processes detected channel conflicts and frequency masking automatically. Phase Analyze identifies a phase rotation intended to reduce cancellation between layered sounds. Users can adjust mid/side, Q, attack, and release controls, and listen to the Delta signal. FUSER supports stereo processing and offline file analysis, with views for loudness, peaks, stereo balance, phase correlation, dynamic range, loudness range, and tonal balance/EQ. It runs on macOS 10.15 or later and Windows 10 or later; the Mac version is native for Apple Silicon. Mac hosts can use 64-bit AU, VST 3, or AAX, while Windows hosts can use 64-bit VST 3 or AAX. The listed price is £59 as a one-time purchase, and the maker offers a fully functional 15-day trial. A 30-day money-back guarantee is also listed, subject to deactivation and a support request within 30 days of purchase.
