Ceiling Smasher

by Bittersweet HarmonicsIndie

VST3AURuns on Mac

Ceiling Smasher is Bittersweet Harmonics' stacking precision EQ for macOS. H-TRACK locks up to 32 bands to a note's own harmonics so they follow pitch changes; up to 8 panels (64 bands total) add bell, shelf, notch, bandpass and tilt filters with true dB/oct slopes and per-band dynamic EQ; routing covers Stereo, Left, Right, Mid or Side, plus level-matched saturation and a hard peak limiter.

About Ceiling Smasher

Ceiling Smasher is an EQ that can pin bands to the harmonics of whatever note is playing, followed by a saturation and peak-limiting stage. Press H-TRACK, play a bass, voice or synth note, and a dot appears on each of its first 32 harmonics; click one and a band attaches to it and follows the pitch.

Tracking keeps running with the plugin window closed, and Freeze holds every band in place. Cuts go from 6 to 96 dB/oct. Each band's right-click menu sets type, slope, routing, solo and dynamic settings (threshold, ratio, attack, release, knee), with Expand for upward moves. Panels come with starting shapes such as Foundation, Lead and Lift.

Saturation runs from mild warmth around 25% to aggressive at full. Limit keeps output under -0.5 dB, Auto holds loudness steady while you EQ, and A/B compares two settings. The developer notes H-TRACK suits pitched sources rather than drums.
