Fluctor Audio Unbias

Your effect chain can sound better just because it is louder. You switch it off, the track drops in level, and your ears say the processed version won. The decision is made by volume, not by sound.

Fluctor Audio Unbias is a Max for Live audio effect that measures the loudness before and after your effects, matches the two in real time, and lets you switch between them with one click.

  • Level-matched A/B: FX On/Off at the same loudness, measured with ITU-R BS.1770 K-weighting and shown in LUFS.

  • Delta Listen: hear only what your chain adds or removes.

  • FX Report: shows how low, mid and high frequencies, punch, mono level and peaks changed.

  • Peak Guard: optional lookahead safety limiter on the processed signal.

  • Commit Match: writes the current compensation into a Utility device.

  • Works on Audio, MIDI, Group, Return and Main tracks.

Requires Ableton Live 12 and Max 9. Windows and macOS. Tested at 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz. This is a paid device with a PDF manual.
