Key Features
The iZotope Tonal Balance Control 3 is an advanced referencing tool for mixing and mastering engineers. Tonal Balance Control 3 helps you make informed mix decisions by comparing your audio against professional reference targets, whether you use the included genre profiles or create your own from streaming platforms, finished masters, or DAW sessions.
Four detailed meters let you assess tonal balance, vocal placement, dynamics, and stereo width in real time, giving you a clearer picture of how your mix will translate outside your studio. The new Leveled View makes EQ decisions easier to visualise, while the built-in Hybrid EQ lets you make tonal corrections directly inside the plugin. Plus, integration with Ozone, Neutron, and Nectar gives you quick access to deeper processing without interrupting your workflow. Available as both a standalone app and plugin, Tonal Balance Control 3 fits naturally into modern production setups.

Tonal Balance Control 3 gives you a detailed visual overview of how your mix compares to professionally mastered material. Alongside the classic tonal balance display, the new Leveled View makes it easier to spot frequency imbalances and make more precise EQ decisions. Three additional meters expand your analysis further, helping you evaluate vocal placement, stereo image, and dynamic impact in context. This makes it much easier to identify problem areas before exporting a final mix. Whether you're working in a treated studio or a more limited setup, these tools help your mixes translate more consistently across headphones, speakers, and streaming platforms.
The standalone desktop app lets you capture tonal references directly from audio playing on your system, including music streamed from Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. Inside your DAW, you can also create targets from live session audio or completed masters, making it useful for maintaining consistency across albums and EPs. And if the included profiles don’t quite fit your style, the Target Blender allows you to combine two references into a completely custom curve. With over 30 genre targets already included, there’s plenty of flexibility for producers, mix engineers, and mastering specialists working across different styles.
Built directly into the interface, the Hybrid EQ lets you shape your mix while referencing your target in real time. Static and dynamic EQ nodes provide precise tonal control, making it easier to reduce harshness, tighten low-end response, or smooth uneven frequencies without switching between multiple plugins. Combined with the Leveled View display, you can quickly identify where your mix differs from the target and make immediate corrections. This streamlined workflow helps speed up decision-making during mixing and mastering sessions, especially when working under tight deadlines or final revision stages.
Tonal Balance Control 3 connects directly with Ozone, Neutron, and Nectar, giving you deeper control when more detailed processing is needed. You can open connected EQ modules from within the plugin itself, making tonal adjustments without constantly navigating between windows. Custom targets can also be loaded into iZotope’s Assistant features, helping guide automated processing based on your chosen reference material. For producers already using the wider iZotope ecosystem, this integration creates a smoother and more efficient workflow across mixing, mastering, and vocal production tasks.
