What it does, in detail.
A reference that guides your track
Drop a track you love onto the plugin. As your track plays, a dynamic processor keeps guiding its tonal balance toward that reference. When a sound pokes out, it gets cut harder while it lasts, then the cut eases off, instead of one fixed curve cutting the same amount all the time.
No reference? One knob still does the job
Leave the reference out and it aims for a built-in balance that makes your mix sound cleaner, clearer and wider. CUT and BOOST turn together, so one move sets both.
Cut and boost, apart
With a reference on, CUT only turns down what's too loud and BOOST only lifts what's missing. Set BOOST to 0 to only tame what's too loud. Set CUT to 0 to only fill what's missing.
Work only where it matters
Set FROM and TO, and it only touches the frequencies between them. Set FROM to 200 Hz, for example, and your bass stays as it was.
See every move it makes
Your sound, your reference, and each cut and boost as it happens, so you always know what it's doing to your track.
BETTER PRO vs regular match plugins.
| BETTER PRO | Regular match plugins | |
|---|---|---|
| How it matches | A dynamic processor that reacts as your track plays | One EQ curve, set once |
| When your track changes | It keeps adjusting | The curve stays the same |
| Cut and boost | A knob for each | Usually one amount for both |
| No reference track | Uses its built-in balance | Nothing to match to |
Every control, explained.

- Drop a track here or click to choose one. The switch turns it on and off, REMOVE takes it out.
- HEAR REFERENCE
- Plays the reference in place of your track, at about the same level, so you compare by ear.
- CUT
- How far it turns down what's louder than the target (your reference, or the built-in balance), from 0 (nothing) to 100% (all the way).
- BOOST
- How far it lifts what's quieter than the target, from 0 (nothing) to 100% (all the way).
- LINKED

Specs
Do I need a reference track?
No. Without one it aims for a built-in balance that makes your mix sound cleaner, clearer and wider. A reference lets you choose the sound yourself.
What makes a good reference?
A finished track in the same style as yours, with a sound you want to get close to. WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3 and Ogg files all work.
