Your compass to confidence in every mix

Ready to raise your tracks to pro standards? Tonal Balance Control 3 is your guide. First, pick any audio to compare your mix against. Choose from 30+ genre targets or capture your own from anywhere – even blend to create your perfect profile. Next, see the story of your sound with 4 easy-to-use meters: Tonal Balance, Vocal Balance, Dynamics, and Stereo Width. Finally, start bridging the gap to your gold-standard with a built-in EQ. Plus, dive deeper with seamless Ozone, Neutron, and Nectar integration.

Tonal Balance Control 3 is available as both a standalone app and plugin. Use the standalone app to turn any audio into a target, then shape your sound with the plugin in your digital audio workstation (DAW).

See how your tracks stack up against the pros with the classic tonal balance meter, and easily see how your audio strays from the target with the brand-new Leveled View. Then, complete the picture with TBC’s three new meters: visualize vocals with Vocal Balance to confidently sit them in the sweet spot, analyze energy and impact with Dynamics, and assess immersion with Stereo Width.
