Fixate:Midrange

Newfangled Audio

Where to get itAvailable from Newfangled Audiostore.eventideaudio.com

Fixate:Midrange is a dynamic spectral balancer specifically engineered for midrange correction. It intelligently addresses five common midrange problems—mud, thinness, honk, nasality, and harshness—by applying signal-dependent processing that reacts only when and where problems actually occur, leaving well-balanced audio untouched. Beyond targeted resonance control, it includes a spectral balance section that matches your audio to a learned reference and a Profile system for storing preferred settings across sessions.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Five dynamic resonance effects targeting specific midrange problems: Demud (200 Hz), Dethin (200 Hz), Dehonk (500 Hz–1 kHz), Denasal (2.5 kHz), Deharsh (3.5 kHz)
02Spectral balance correction across 15 frequency bands with LEARN button for reference calibration
03Mid/Side processing control for each effect with independent mid and side channel adjustment
04Three spectral analysis algorithms: Transparent, Natural, and Controlled modes
05Hintmap visual overlay with five color-coded problem detection zones and Hint Sensitivity tuning
06Profile system storing threshold, sensitivity, and balance reference settings with online and offline learning
07Per-band solo and delta listening tools for isolating and evaluating individual effect processing
08A/B comparison mode and undo/redo with multiple levels

Things to Try

  • 01Load a Profile matching your workflow (Mastering, Vocals, Guitar, etc.) from the Profile Dropdown, then press FIX to apply automatic corrections as a starting point before fine-tuning individual controls
  • 02Use the MIDRANGE FOCUS listening tool to auditorily emphasize midrange content while evaluating which resonance effects are addressing the problems you hear
  • 03Try each of the three Algorithm modes (Transparent, Natural, Controlled) on your material to see which gives the most useful meter feedback and detection behavior
  • 04Enable the Hintmap toggle to visualize detected problems on the resonance meter, then use the Delta button on individual effects to hear exactly what each correction is changing
