I found this detailed static analysis of the whole track picked up anomalies on some mixes, particularly at the low end below 50Hz, that I simply hadn't noticed using more conventional spectral analysis plug-ins. The main spectrum display then plots three traces for peak, average, and the mean between the two responses in yellow, green and red respectively. When you first open an audio file, Harbal analyses both its average and peak spectrum content, and measures the A-weighted sound power for the original recording. It supports WAV, AIFF, NeXT/Sun AU, Amiga IFF/SVX, Sphere NIST, Raw PCM, Paris PAF, ULAW and ALAW audio files, in formats up to 32-bit/96kHz. Harbal consists of a resizeable window containing a spectrum analysis display with a toolbar above and status bar beneath. For instance, if you apply some boost and think it improves your track, how do you know whether this is due to the change in EQ, or the increased overall loudness? And does a cut at one frequency work because it results in more clarity, or because the overall level has dropped and made the playback sound less bass-heavy? Harbal attempts to solve this problem by automatically compensating for the perceived changes in loudness that occur when you EQ a track, enabling more objective A/B comparisons.

It also means that whenever you change a hardware or software EQ setting, the loudness of your track will change, and herein lies the problem. This is the reason why budget hi-fis have a 'Loudness' control - to boost both bass and treble extremes for more 'balanced' listening at low volume levels. Its frequency response also varies with level, according to the well-known Fletcher-Munson loudness contours. The human ear is most responsive to frequencies around 4kHz, and either side of this, it is less sensitive.

Of course there's a lot more to creating a perfect track than EQ, but it's still important.Д¬urrently available only as a stand-alone PC application that runs under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP, and consisting of a spectrum analysis engine and an 8192-point linear-phase digital filter, Harbal is a considerable improvement over other similar products I've reviewed in the past including Steinberg's Freefilter and Voxengo's CurveEQ, because it incorporates A-weighted compensation for perceived loudness changes. Harbal is short for ' harmonic balancing', and is developer Paavo Jumppanen's superior take on 'EQ ripping', the technique of matching the frequency response of the target audio file to that of a reference, to hopefully turn an ailing track into one that sounds much more like a world-class commercial product. I first mentioned Harbal back in PC Notes November 2003, having been intrigued by the demo version of its 'visual mastering system'. Harbal enables you to shape the EQ of your mastered mixes to match any reference track, and by compensating for the loudness changes involved in doing so, it provides a truly neutral means of comparing the original and the treated master. Harbal's main spectral display is extremely informative, containing peak and average curves plus a mean of the two, any of which can be used as a basis for EQ adjustments using the triple-crosshead cursor shown here.

Har-Bal does so by measuring a loudness figure for the original recording (based on an A-weighted sound power) and adjusting the volume control on the filtered version so that the loudness figure of merit after filtering is the same as for the original.

Loudness Compensation вЂ“ Har-Bal leaves the initial volume level unchanged even after performing spectral correction (EQ changes) thanks to its вЂњloudness compensationвЂќ algorithm.
