In this post we'll explore the technical details of the approach we developed at iZotope to quantify tonal balance. To read about tonal balance from a variety of perspectives-musicians, recording engineers, mixing engineers, and mastering engineers- check this blog out. To learn how Tonal Balance Control fits into your audio production workflow, check out this article. To this end, iZotope created the Tonal Balance Control plug-in, which allows you to visualize spectral information in a unique way while also serving as a remote control for any Ozone or Neutron EQs throughout your session. Our hope is that understanding tonal balance can help save you from a non-ideal listening environment and speed up your mixing and mastering workflow. ![]() ![]() A common example of a mix that exhibits poor tonal balance is when you can’t quite hear the vocals, so you turn up the volume, but then the bass becomes overwhelming.
