What it does

Built-in player

Library by artist, album, genre or folder, gapless albums, crossfade, VU meters and a broadcast-style time display.

Patchable Studio Rack

Leveler, EQ, Hiss Guard, compressor, make-up EQ, stereo width and limiter, with cables that follow the signal order.

Live readouts

Spectrum surfaces, transfer curves, gain reduction and LUFS / true-peak metering on every stage.

VST3 host

Load up to 20 VST3 plug-ins, either first in the chain or just ahead of the limiter. The limiter always stays last.

Skins

Glass Console, Studio Rack and Black Console.

A/B match

Equal-loudness bypass so you hear the processing, not just a volume jump.

Get started

Three steps and you're listening.

  1. Click Download for Windows and run the installer.
  2. If Windows shows a blue SmartScreen box, click More info → Run anyway (see FAQ).
  3. Open Even Keel, pick your audio device in Audio settings, and press play.
