Start dense mixes from a usable balance in under two minutes.
QREL Nodes maps the session, protects the important parts, and applies conservative gain cleanup so you begin from a tighter, more mixable scene instead of a pile of competing channels.
- Two-plugin system: Track on channels, Master on the bus
- Built for fast starting balance, not one-click final mixes
- Analyze, Suggest, Apply — you stay in control
It doesn't mix for you. It gives you the starting point you wish you always had.
A faster, more honest first pass.
QREL Nodes is not a one-click automix. It is a controllable starting-balance system for real sessions. The value is speed, triage, and clearer first decisions — everything that usually eats the first twenty minutes of a mix.
Auto Scene
QREL listens to the active section and builds a conservative baseline. No extreme aesthetic decisions; just a stable starting point that respects the material in front of it.
Role-Aware Balance
Each track is classified as Lead, Support, Bass, Drums, FX, Bus, or Ignore. Roles drive priority, anchor strength, and how aggressively the system moves each element. Override any of them manually.
Visual Triage
Scene, Mix Curve, Mask, and Mix Audit views show why a session feels crowded, tilted, or unstable — before you start guessing where to reach for the EQ.
Controlled Automation
Analyze measures only. Suggest previews changes. Apply commits the move. Auto handles the normal first-pass workflow. You decide where the system gets agency.
Scene Memory
QREL remembers what it learned. Save arrangement profiles, recall previous balance states, and let the system auto-match when a section repeats. Built for sessions that evolve and sets that loop.
Tonal Integrity
A target spectral contour holds the overall shape steady. If a track tips the mix toward an unnatural tilt, the system pulls just enough to keep the low end grounded and the top end controlled.
Two plugins. One scene.
Drop a Track instance on every channel that matters. Drop one Master on the mix bus. They find each other automatically — no routing, no sidechain, no setup.
Insert
Place QREL Nodes (Track) on each channel you want balanced. Place QREL Nodes (Master) on your mix bus. The Track instances register themselves and the Master starts listening.
Play
Hit play. Each Track analyses its audio in real time and reports identity, role, level, and spectral state to the Master. The Master builds a complete picture of your scene within seconds.
Balance
The Master evaluates every track in context, resolves masking conflicts, and sends precise per-track adjustments back. Levels, cleanup, and conflict resolution converge into a calm starting balance.
Take Over
The scene stabilises and locks. From here, the creative mix is yours. Push the faders, shape the tone, automate. QREL gave you a starting point — not the final decision.
Made for how you actually work.
Mix Prep
Start every mix from a balanced, informed position instead of a blank slate. Spend your time on creative decisions, not fighting fundamentals.
Dense Sessions
Forty-track sessions with stacked vocals, layered guitars, and multiple synths. QREL untangles the conflicts and gives each element its space.
Live Performance
Save arrangement profiles and let QREL auto-recall when the set moves between songs. Consistent balance across your entire show with zero manual intervention.
Stem Balancing
Dialogue, music, and effects stems competing for attention. QREL identifies each element's role and delivers a balanced foundation for your final pass.
Reference Check
Use the Mix Audit score as an objective sanity check. Share balanced sessions with collaborators who hear the arrangement the way you intended.
Broadcast & Streaming
Real-time balance for live-to-air or streaming workflows where you don't get a second pass. QREL maintains spectral integrity as the content changes.
Less time triaging. More time mixing.
Before
Too many channels, uncertain hierarchy, masking everywhere, and no clear place to start. The first twenty minutes go to level triage instead of creative decisions.
After
A calmer starting scene, more obvious priorities, and less time wasted on repetitive first-pass balancing. The mix begins with the parts you care about already audible.
What QREL is, and isn't.
- QREL is strongest on first-pass balance and conflict cleanup — not on final tone or emotion.
- The busiest representative section of your song usually produces the best baseline.
- Big arrangement changes, extreme automation, and unusual routing may need automatic revalidation or a manual reset pass.
- Licensing is two machines per purchase. You can deactivate a machine and move the license to a new one at any time.
