SmoothIR – Initial Release

SmoothIR is a lightweight tool for creating and shaping impulse 
responses with a strong focus on clarity, control, and real-time feedback.

Originally built as a replacement for internal scripts, it has evolved 
into a standalone application designed to streamline IR matching and 
tonal shaping workflows.

Features

Reference Matching

Match a source signal against a reference and generate a corresponding 
impulse response.

Integrated EQ

Shape the resulting curve with a flexible multi-band EQ, including 
shelves and peak filters.

Real-Time Analysis

Live spectrum display with overlayed source, reference, and difference 
curves.

Dynamic Processing Controls

Fine-tune the behavior of the generated IR using smoothing and dynamics 
parameters.

High/Low Cut Filters

Clean up unwanted frequency extremes quickly and precisely.

Direct IR Export

Save generated impulse responses for use in other tools or convolution 
engines.

Design Philosophy

SmoothIR focuses on being:

Fast – immediate visual feedback, minimal friction

Focused – no unnecessary features, just what’s needed

Transparent – what you see is what you get

The interface is built to stay out of the way, letting the EQ and 
analysis do the talking.

Status

This is the first public release.

The core workflow is stable, but the project is still evolving.

Planned Improvements

* Implement live matching algorithms

* Additional processing modes

* Plugin version (VST/LV2/Clap)

* Workflow refinements based on user feedback

Feedback

If you find bugs or have ideas for improvements, feel free to open an 
issue or get in touch.
