Key Features

  • Reduce harsh resonances and peaks without compromising on brightness or clarity
  • Ideal for use across a wide range of elements within your mix including vocals and drums
  • Driving your threshold up results in interesting peak compression effects
  • Side-chain lets you duck targeted frequency range against another track in your mix
  • Designed with an FFT algorithm to analyse your signal in real-time

DISC Baby Audio Smooth Operator Overview

Baby Audio

Baby Audio Smooth Operator is a powerful dynamic suppression plugin, designed for cleaning up your signal by removing harsh resonances in your signal. What may appear like any ordinary EQ plugin, Baby Audio Smooth Operator utilises an FFT design, analysing your input signal in real-time and allowing you to edit your track with spectral processing. Comprised of four EQ bands, two of which are fixed at both the top and bottom of your frequency response, you have complete control over the full range, allowing you to process not only individual tracks but entire groups and even full mixes.


While other spectral processing plugins work on audio restoration, Smooth Operator lets you explore your creativity whilst creating cleaner and more focused audio tracks. The best of both worlds, Smooth Operator blurs the lines between frequency and time-domain analysis, working as both a compressor and EQ. The intelligent algorithm automatically detects the offending, harsh frequencies that need to be clamped down on letting you focus on the creative ways in which to affect these frequencies, with either attenuation or dynamic compression.


A truly unique plugin that needs to be heard to be believed, a little can go a long way with Smooth Operator. It reimagines what is possible when it comes to mixing techniques, putting musicality and creativity at the heart and soul with an innovative and intuitive interface that makes it easy and most importantly, fun to use.

Not your average EQ

What on the surface may appear to be another EQ plugin similar to those that you may already have at your disposal, Baby Audio Smooth Operator delivers an entirely new and unique experience of EQ'ing. The principle that Smooth Operator works on is spectral processing, translating a sound into an FFT for all-at-once, real-time analysing and processing of your signal. Blurring the lines between frequency-domain and time-domain analysis, Smooth Operator is the best of both worlds. Where you can of course use Smooth Operator for visualisation of frequency control, you can drag the parameter nodes to the extreme and it turns into a compressor instead of simply making a more aggressive filter. This is what makes the Smooth Operator out from the crowd, letting you manipulate your signal in new and exciting ways and constantly reacting to the input signal.

Reduce harshness and bring out the clarity

The art of mixing music is about understanding what tools are the best fit for the job as you may struggle against poorly recorded instruments or bad equipment, microphones or rooms that result in a less than ideal sound. The job of a mixing engineer is to ensure that the inadequacies of this don't result in a boomy, muddy, fizzy or harsh sound that's unpleasant to the listener. Enter Smooth Operator to save the day, by dynamically reducing the peaks across a targetted frequency range to reduce unwanted harshness and resonances for a smooth and balanced tone.

With four bands, two that are fixed and anchored to either end of the spectrum, you have the ability to shape your tone across the full frequency spectrum, taking care of any low resonances that cause unwanted hum or boxiness as well as the upper-midrange and treble region that can create unpleasant overtones or harmonic resonances that can be heard as a 'whistle'.

Using the intelligent analysis that reacts in real-time to your input signal, Smooth Operator can help you to create more balanced and smooth mixes to bring out the clarity of your tracks without suffering from dull and lifeless tones. Perfectly suited to individual instruments, groups and entire mixes, Smooth Operator could unlock the door to professional and polished mixes that you've been missing in your productions.

Cut away guitar amp 'boxiness' while retaining the fundamental low-end and punch and keep the fundamental of your bass drum intact while removing the distracting overtones and harmonics that muddy the impact of the fundamental note. There's no limitation to what you can achieve with Smooth Operator, from tone-shaping, de-essing or adding an exciting compression to your tracks, Smooth Operator can do it all.
