| Description: | DIFF Devices — PRECISE V2 PRECISE evolves from a mastering-focused precision EQ into a fully dynamic, surgical tone-shaping system. Built for engineers who demand absolute control, PRECISE now integrates advanced per-band dynamic processing while maintaining the clarity, phase integrity, and workflow philosophy that defined its original release. At its core, PRECISE is entirely written in gen~ — not partially, not hybrid — but fully custom DSP from filter topology to dynamic engine. This ensures deterministic behavior, zero-latency response (in standard mode), and extremely stable real-time performance even under heavy automation. Originally designed as a mastering-grade equalizer with brickwall filtering, PRECISE now expands into a professional Dynamic EQ platform while preserving its clean, controlled sonic identity. Where Version 1.0 focused on static tonal excellence, Version 2 introduces intelligent movement — allowing frequencies to respond only when necessary. The result is a processor that can be transparent and invisible, or surgical and corrective, without ever compromising tonal balance. WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 2.0 • Full Dynamic EQ engine • Per-band Threshold, Range, Attack & Release • Downward & Upward dynamic modes • Mid/Side processing architecture • Dual-Mono support • 12–96 dB/oct LC/HC slope control • Click-free slope transitions • Advanced band-contribution detection • Side-channel detector boost (M/S mode) • Per-band dynamic metering architecture • Improved smoothing and clickless parameter transitions • Real-time spectrum enhancements CORE ARCHITECTURE • 100% gen~ DSP Engine PRECISE is completely written in gen~, including: • Filter topology • Dynamic envelope detection • Slope morphing • Mid/Side matrix • Smoothing systems This allows: • Zero-latency operation (standard mode) • Phase-coherent summing • High stability under automation • Efficient CPU usage FEATURES (VERSION 2) • 8-Band Precision EQ LowCut, LowShelf, Bell 1–4, HighShelf, HighCut Designed for mastering accuracy and mix-level flexibility. • Dynamic Processing (LS + B1–B4 + HS) Dynamic control is available where it matters most musically, intentionally excluding LC/HC for stability and clarity. Each band includes: • Threshold (dB) • Range (dB) • Attack (ms) • Release (ms) • Mode: Downward or Upward • Downward & Upward Modes • Downward reduces gain when threshold is exceeded. • Upward expands or enhances frequencies only when they fall below threshold. Perfect for: • Controlling harsh resonances • Dynamic presence boosts • Low-end tightening • Transparent vocal control • Mastering tonal stabilization • Band-Contribution Detection Instead of relying on broadband detection, PRECISE measures each band’s energy contribution using a pre/post comparison model. This keeps dynamic behavior focused, stable, and musically accurate. • Stereo / Dual-Mono / Mid-Side Modes Three processing architectures: • Stereo Linked • Dual-Mono (Left/Right independent) • Mid/Side (A = Mid, B = Side) The Mid/Side matrix is orthonormal and phase-safe, ensuring clean reconstruction. • Side Detector Boost (M/S Mode) Optional 0–24 dB boost for Side detection sensitivity without altering actual Side gain. • Advanced LC/HC Slope Control 8 selectable slopes: 12 / 24 / 36 / 48 / 60 / 72 / 84 / 96 dB per octave Slope changes use a click-free internal crossfade system for smooth transitions. • Controlled Resonance Behavior LowCut and HighCut Q range: 0.1 – 30 Resonance handling is optimized to avoid unexpected volume jumps when increasing slope or Q. • Spectrum Analyzer High-resolution real-time spectrum display with band visualization and clear frequency targeting. • Clickless Smoothing Architecture All continuous parameters and routing states are smoothed to eliminate: • Zipper noise • Pops • Switching artifacts • Automation glitches SOUND PHILOSOPHY PRECISE is designed to remain: • Transparent when subtle • Surgical when needed • Stable under mastering conditions • Reliable in complex automation scenarios Unlike many dynamic EQs that rely on generic compression structures, PRECISE’s dynamic behavior is deeply integrated into the EQ architecture itself — resulting in smoother, more predictable tone shaping.
