iZotope – Tonal Balance Control 3 v3.4.0 for WiN

iZotope Tonal Balance Control 3 is an audio metering plug-in and standalone desktop application designed to help audio engineers create professional mixes and masters by comparing their audio recordings to industry-standard, user-recorded, or genre-specific reference curves.

The program provides comprehensive visual feedback on tonal balance, vocal level, stereo width, and dynamics.

Sound check

Compare your tracks with the professionals using the classic tonal balance indicator and easily spot deviations from the target level with the all-new Leveled View. Then, complete the picture with three new TBC indicators: visualize vocals with Vocal Balance to confidently place them in the “sweet spot,” analyze energy and power with Dynamics, and assess immersion with Stereo Width.

Capture inspiration anywhere

Got a favorite track or a gold standard you’d like to mix? Turn any audio file into your benchmark with the new standalone desktop app, allowing you to record target parameters from any source, like Spotify or YouTube. And in your DAW, instantly record live audio to create new target parameters—this lets you save profiles of entire tracks or mix elements for later or easily compare songs within the same album.

Choose a goal or create your own

Dive into the updated Target Library to find your style with over 30 diverse genres and subgenres—from classic hip-hop to punk rock and K-pop. Can’t find the exact Target you want, or want something built from the Targets you’ve captured? The new Target Blender is at your service, allowing you to create custom templates by combining any two Targets in your library. Pre-made templates or a mix—the choice is yours.

See, shape, send

Instantly adjust your tone with the new TBC 3 built-in hybrid EQ, featuring static and dynamic nodes—perfectly paired with the new Leveled View mode, allowing you to quickly achieve your goals. No more switching between multiple plugins: now you can make the necessary adjustments directly from the Tonal Balance Control interface.
