Fix troublesome midrange frequencies automatically
Fixate:Midrange analyses your signal using a hearing-inspired processing model that focuses on how people naturally perceive resonances. Instead of relying on static EQ moves, the plugin dynamically responds to issues only when they occur, helping your mixes stay open and natural. Six dedicated processors target the most common midrange problems individually, making it easier to remove muddiness, tame harsh peaks, or control nasal tones without overprocessing the source. The one-button ANALYZE and FIX parameters keep your workflow lightning-quick so you don’t get too stuck in the weeds and can move on with your mix quickly and efficiently.
Visual feedback that supports faster decisions
Fixate:Midrange combines intelligent processing with detailed visual guidance, helping you identify exactly where issues are happening in your mix. The integrated HINTMAP system highlights problematic frequency areas directly across knobs, meters, and controls, so you can quickly connect what you’re hearing with what you’re seeing. Real-time resonance metering gives you constant feedback while tweaking settings manually, and dedicated Solo and Delta monitoring modes let you isolate processing changes with precision. There’s also a Midrange Focus listening mode that helps you hear the most critical frequencies in isolation, making subtle tonal problems easier to spot during mixing or mastering sessions.
Match tonal balance with reference profiles
Getting a consistent tonal balance across projects becomes much easier with Fixate:Midrange’s spectral balance tools. The plugin includes dedicated profiles for mastering, vocals, guitars, drums, piano, and more, helping you tailor processing to different source material instantly. You can also load reference audio directly into the plugin, allowing Fixate:Midrange to learn and apply tonal characteristics from tracks you already trust. This is especially useful when matching mixes across an album, adapting to unfamiliar monitoring environments, or creating client-specific tonal targets. With 15-band spectral correction working dynamically in the background, adjustments stay controlled and musical rather than sounding forced or artificial.
Flexible processing for mixing and mastering
Although designed with mastering workflows in mind, Fixate:Midrange adapts easily to individual tracks and subgroup processing. Independent Mid and Side controls give you greater precision when working with stereo material, allowing you to clean up centre-heavy frequencies separately from wider ambience or effects. Acoustic guitars can sound more balanced without excessive nasal resonance, vocal groups can sit more naturally in dense mixes, and rock masters can open up congested upper mids while maintaining energy. Automatic gain compensation and built-in A/B comparison tools also make level-matched decision-making straightforward, helping you judge processing changes more accurately during longer sessions.
