Steady levels.
Nothing flattened.Dynamic Leveling · Level Rider
Poise keeps vocals, dialogue and instruments sitting at a consistent level while their performance keeps its natural feel. One knob sets the target — Poise rides the rest, like a fader that never sleeps. And its group feature lets whole stacks move as one.
Watch it ride the level
This is the real plug-in UI, running live. The grey line is the incoming level; the cyan line is Poise holding it to your target. Turn the Target knob and change Speed, Range and Gate to feel how it responds.
A leveler that keeps the feel
Level riding, not squashing
Poise moves a slow gain to hold your long-term level steady — while short-term dynamics, syllables and transients pass through untouched. No compressor pump, no flattening.
One knob: Target
Set where you want the track to sit and Poise rides to it. Speed, Range and a Gate give you control over how quickly and how far it corrects.
Stacks that move as one
Assign backing vocals, guitar or synth layers to a group and they share one riding gain — tight, cohesive stacks that keep their internal balance and their own dynamics.
Loudness-aware detection
A rumble filter and gentle loudness weighting mean Poise tracks how loud a part actually feels — not just raw peaks — so vocals and dialogue sit right.
Live level + ride meter
A scrolling display shows input, output and the exact gain being applied, so you can see it working and dial it in with confidence.
