Internal Affairs

Every Channel Is Under Investigation.

You shouldn't have to pick between working on left and right and working on mid and side. Internal Affairs does both at the same time. Four rows - Channel 1, Channel 2, Mid and Side - and every row is a complete EQ of its own, with a low cut, four parametric bands and a high cut.

Channel 1 and 2 work on the left and right channels, then the signal splits into mid and side. The Mid row works on the center of the image, the Side row works on the difference between the channels, and everything goes back together. Brighten the center, darken the sides, notch one resonance that only lives on the left - all in one pass, all in one window.

Link, Gain Sync and the Rest of the Panel

Stereo Moves Stay Stereo.

Link locks Channel 1 and 2 together - every band, plus the input and output gains - so a stereo move stays a stereo move. Mid and Side never follow it, because splitting them is the point.

Input Gain and Output Gain run ±12 dB on each channel. Gain Sync turns the Output knobs to the opposite of the Input knobs so your level stays where it was while you push. Mono sums the output so you can check what survives, Delta plays only what the EQ and Saturation are changing, and Bypass is a clean bypass.

Meters, Presets and the Window

Everything You Need to Judge It.

Two VU meters show In, Out or M-S - the Mid and Side level of your output. They're average meters, with 0 sitting at -14 dBFS RMS. Ten factory presets - Clean Record, Interrogation Lamp, Hard Questions, Wire Tap, Cold Case, Good Cop, Bad Cop, Witness Protection, Plea Bargain and Evidence Locker - are starting points, gentle on purpose. A/B, Save, Save As, Copy, Delete, Import and Export handle your own. The window resizes and remembers its size.
