Nex Audio
Reference-driven tone matching
Free · no account or sign-up required
Hear a tone you love. Get close to it in minutes.
Nex Audio is a reference-driven tone matcher for guitar and bass. Give it a recording whose sound you like, and it analyzes the tone, finds the closest amp model in your library, loads it and dials in a matching EQ.
Then fine-tune it like any amp rig: drive, cab, dynamics and master, with A/B comparison against the reference.
What's inside
Drop in a reference
Load a song or stem and see its tone curve next to the predicted result.
Finds your best model
Scores every model in your library by spectrum, brightness and tightness, and loads the closest one.
Match EQ
Sets a matching EQ automatically. LEARN listens to your guitar for an even closer match, and every band stays draggable.
Full signal chain
Gate, drive, amp, cab, EQ, compressor and limiter, with loudness metering on the master.
Presets, A/B and bounce
Factory and user presets, A/B compare and bouncing your result to a file.
