Mixing shouldn’t feel like a constant battle between tracks.
You’ve chosen the right sounds.
The arrangement works.
The groove is there.
Yet somehow, the mix still feels crowded, muddy, and unfocused.
That’s masking and it’s one of the most common (and frustrating) problems in modern music production.
Waves Curves Resolve introduces a smarter, more musical way to solve mix conflicts automatically without over-EQing, over-ducking, or destroying the character of your tracks.
Waves Curves Resolve is an intelligent mix conflict resolver that listens to multiple tracks and creates space only where clashes actually occur.
Instead of permanently cutting frequencies or aggressively sidechaining compressors, Curves Resolve dynamically reacts only when two sounds collide.
The result:
This makes Curves Resolve especially valuable for dense sessions, modern productions, and fast-paced workflows.
Curves Resolve processes one track by listening to another track in real time.
When a clash occurs:
Think of it as context-aware EQ and ducking, designed specifically to solve mix conflicts not just shape tone.
With a single control, Curves Resolve handles complex frequency interactions that normally take multiple plugins and manual tweaking.
Perfect for producers who want speed without sacrificing quality.
This flexibility makes it useful for both live mixes and studio productions.
Unlike traditional ducking:
This keeps the mix powerful and balanced instead of hollow or thin.
Curves Resolve includes optimized carving modes for common instruments, helping you get great results faster even in complex sessions.
Full control over how and when the plugin listens to other tracks, giving advanced users the precision they expect.
For real-time use cases, Curves Resolve Live delivers the same intelligent conflict resolution with zero latency ideal for:
Curves Resolve is designed for:
If your mixes feel cluttered or if you spend too much time fighting frequency conflicts this plugin was built for you.

Most EQ and sidechain solutions force you to guess where problems are.
Curves Resolve:
It’s nearly impossible to overprocess, making it one of the most transparent and controlled solutions for resolving mix conflicts available today.
That’s why many engineers describe it not as a creative EQ, but as a problem-solver one that quietly makes everything work better together.
