01 · Smart Ops

One second of audio. Then one click.

Learn listens, you pick the job — deresonate, de-ess, match or unmask — and Aurora writes ordinary bands onto the curve. Every one stays editable.

02 · Dynamic EQ

Bands that move only when they have to.

Any band turns dynamic with a full detector: threshold, range, ratio, knee, attack, hold, release and lookahead, keyed internally or from a sidechain.

03 · Mid / Side

Mid and side, each on its own.

The analyzer splits into mid and side, and any band can sit on the mid, the side, left or right. Zero latency, natural or linear phase.

AURORADynamic parametric EQ

A full dynamic EQ. Free, and complete.

Up to 24 bands on a live spectrum, per-band dynamic EQ with a full sidechain detector, stereo / mid-side / left-right with an analyzer that splits to match, and three phase modes — zero-latency, analog-matched Natural, and true linear phase.

  • The curve is the interface

    Double-click the spectrum to drop a band, drag the node to move it, scroll to tighten the Q. Eight shapes, cut slopes to 96 dB/oct plus a vertical Brickwall. No menus, no typing numbers.

  • Smart Ops does the tedious part

    Match a reference, hunt resonances, de-ess, auto-bracket with high and low cuts, unmask one track against another. One click each — and every move stays fully editable afterward.

  • Free, and it stays free

    No account, no license key, no trial limit, no phone-home. It works offline, on Windows, macOS and Linux, and it keeps working the day we stop shipping updates.

Before you download

Is AURORA really free?

Yes — the full plugin, no license key, no account, no trial limit and no feature gates. It is not a lite edition of a paid product and there is nothing to unlock inside it.

Will it run in my DAW?

Windows: VST3 / CLAP — Windows 10/11; x86_64 · macOS: VST3 / AU / CLAP — macOS 11+; Apple Silicon & Intel (universal) · Linux: VST3 / CLAP / LV2 — Linux · glibc 2.35+; x86_64

What does Smart Ops actually do?

One click each: match a reference curve, hunt and tame resonances, de-ess, auto high-/low-cut bracket, and unmask one track against another. It writes real bands onto the curve — so every move it makes stays fully editable afterward.

Does it add latency?

None in zero-latency mode or in the analog-matched Natural mode. True linear-phase mode reports its delay compensation to the host, so everything in your session stays in sync.

What's the catch?

There isn't one on AURORA. It exists so you can judge whether 13x builds serious software before anyone asks you for money — the paid products come later, and this one stays free either way.
