For Logic Pro on Apple Silicon

An engineer for your Logic session.

TineEQ is one Audio Unit that tunes, arranges, mixes and masters. You type what you want. It reads the whole session, makes the moves, shows you each one, and undoes them in one step.

One plug-in

Three modes, set per track.

Put TineEQ on every track and on the Stereo Out. Pick a mode, or let the engineer set it. The Second Engineer prompt box is in every window.

Vocal

On vocal tracks

Real-time pitch correction with key and scale, retune speed down to 0 ms for the hard effect, humanize, flex-tune, formant shift and transpose. Then the polish: EQ, de-essing, compression, drive, and Space (plate reverb and tempo-synced delay).

Track

On the beat and instruments

A tight channel strip, and it listens to the music: it detects the key from the beat so vocals can be tuned to it.

EQ, comp, drive, key detection

Master

On the Stereo Out

A mastering chain with BS.1770 loudness metering and a “Match target” button, so you see where the mix sits before and after.

The second engineer

Say “finish the song.”

Give it the beat, a hook you recorded once, the verses and a pile of adlibs. One prompt, and it works through the job in this order.

  1. Capture

    Logic plays the song while every TineEQ instance records its input against the timeline.

  2. Structure

    It finds the tempo, the bar grid and the sections, and works out the key from the beat.

  3. Hook placement

    The hook is trimmed to musical boundaries, pickups and breaths kept, and a copy is placed at every hook.

  4. Adlibs

    Adlibs go into the same slots in each hook, and into gaps the lead leaves.

  5. Tune and mix

    Vocals are tuned to the song’s key. Gain, EQ, compression, de-essing, space, balance and pan are set, including Logic’s own faders.

  6. Master

    The Stereo Out is mastered to −14 LUFS with a −1 dBTP ceiling.

Arrangements play straight from TineEQ on the original track, in time with Logic. Use Bounce in Place to keep them. If you allow TineEQ in Accessibility settings, it creates real tracks instead and mutes the originals. Your recordings are never changed.

Built into Logic

You see every move, and can take it back.

TineEQ works inside your session rather than beside it.

Real-time tuning

Correction runs live on the track, so there is nothing to bounce. Retune speed, humanize and formant are all adjustable while you listen.

One-step undo

The engineer lists exactly what it changed. One click reverses the whole job: arrangements come off, any new tracks are removed, sources are unmuted and settings are restored.

How it connects

  • TineEQ is an Audio Unit: Audio Units › Tine › TineEQ.
  • A small helper app, TineEQ Brain, runs on your Mac and the plug-ins talk to it over localhost.
  • The helper moves Logic’s faders, pan and mute by emulating a Mackie Control surface, and creates and imports tracks through Accessibility.
  • The engineer’s reasoning uses a cloud language model, so an internet connection is needed for prompts.

Where it stands

Early, and honest about it.

TineEQ is in development. The full “finish the song” run has been verified in Logic Pro 10.7.3 on a synthetic test session, not yet on a catalogue of real recordings.

Supported today

  • Logic Pro on Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 14 or later).
  • Constant-tempo songs.

Known limits

  • Very low voices (below about 110 Hz) come out rougher in Vocal mode.
  • No note-by-note editing view yet; correction is real-time.
  • When creating real tracks, new tracks land after the selected track, not directly under their sources.
  • Builds are not yet signed or publicly released.
