Tonal Balance Control
Tonal Balance Control is a frequency-analysis and mixing-reference plugin for professional audio production, developed by iZotope. It provides real-time visual feedback on the tonal balance of a mix or master track, helping engineers compare their work against target curves for different music genres and make corrective gain and EQ adjustments. The plugin is compatible with Avid Pro Tools and other DAWs via AAX, AU, VST, and VST3 formats. It is commonly used by mixing and mastering engineers, music producers, and broadcast professionals to ensure consistent frequency balance across different playback systems and room acoustics.

1 suggestionTonal Balance Control 2 has shipped with native Apple Silicon (arm64) AAX support since version 2.7, released in early 2023, with the most recent versions adding full compatibility with Pro Tools 2024 and macOS Sequoia. If you are running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, you can update to the native version through iZotope's Product Portal, which is the official update channel for iZotope plugins on Mac. Visit izotope.com, sign in with your account, and use the iZotope Product Portal (or Native Access if you prefer the Native Instruments interface) to download and install the latest native build of Tonal Balance Control 2. The AAX plugin will then load natively in Pro Tools on Apple Silicon Macs, delivering significantly better performance and reduced CPU load compared to running the Intel version under Rosetta 2.
