Ear Candy Technologies 'SweetPoint': An Audio Plugin that Smartly Optimizes Stereo Field, Developed Through Cutting-Edge AI and Music Production Research
Ear Candy Technologies, a Mexican developer of audio plug-ins known for its innovative tools that expand creative possibilities, has recently announced the release of 'SweetPoint' — An innovative audio plug-in designed to smartly optimize your stereo field with transparent mid-side processing, whether you’re working on a single track, an entire mix, or the final mastering stage. SweetPoint was born from years of cutting-edge research at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Music Production. SweetPoint was developed by Ear Candy Technologies in collaboration with electronic music producer and Intelligent Music Production (IMP) researcher Flavio Everardo. SweetPoint is compatible with 64-bit Mac and Windows systems, supporting AU, VST, VST3, and AAX formats, and works seamlessly with all major DAWs.
The following is an explanation of the core features of SweetPoint:
SweetPoint features a custom-built Stereo Width Meter that provides essential information for verifying your audio, using correlation values to measure the stereo image. It offers instant visualization through three main indicators: Narrow, which represents a nearly mono signal; Optimal, the ideal range for maximizing stereo spread while maintaining mono compatibility; and Imbalance, where phasing issues may occur and compromise mono translation. These clear indicators help you monitor and fine-tune your audio for the best possible stereo performance.
You can take control of your stereo image instantly with the XY Pad, where a simple movement lets you hear the changes in real time. It dynamically adjusts the mid-side amplitude balance, with immediate feedback shown on the Mid-Side knobs. As you move the pointer, the XY Pad displays a transparent measurement of the stereo spread along with a visual representation of the incoming audio signal.
The XY Pad encourages creative control, but sometimes a second opinion can be helpful. SweetPoint offers three smart suggestion options via the Smart Assistant to help process your signal more effectively. By pressing the center button, the plug-in analyzes your audio after processing, checking whether it needs to be widened or narrowed, and ensures good mono compatibility based on the signal’s correlation values. The goal is to place your audio in the optimal range on the Stereo Width Meter. You can explore different suggestions using buttons II, III, and IIII.
SweetPoint is fully transparent in its process. When it starts analyzing your audio, a floating message will appear. After the analysis, the plug-in explains what it found and what actions were taken. If your signal is already balanced, it lets you know that no changes are needed. If adjustments are required, SweetPoint offers detailed suggestions in banks II, III, and IIII. Since the analysis adapts to your signal, you may get different suggestions each time.
For detailed manual precision, SweetPoint provides individual knobs and buttons to handle any stereo signal issues:
