Bark Filter - Critical Band Analyser/Filter/Compressor The multi band filter in Bark takes the approach to match the reception characteristic of the gate where all sounds must pass through: the human ear. The ear behaves as if it contains a bank of filters, each filter passing frequencies within their respective critical band. Two tones apart more than the frequency dependant critical bandwidth are perceived as separate tones. For this reason Bark contains a filter bank with 27 very steep bandpass filters matching the critical bandwidth characteristic of the human ear. In fact, the human ear have also its own built in multi band compression system which are based on the critical bands. Why the name Bark ? The Bark scale is a frequency scale on which equal distances correspond with perceptually equal distances. Above about 500 Hz this scale is more or less equal to a logarithmic frequency axis. Below 500 Hz the Bark scale becomes more and more linear. Multiband compressors can act differently on different frequency bands. The advantage of multiband compression over full-bandwidth compression is that unneeded audible gain changes or "pumping" in other frequency bands is not caused by changing signal levels in a single frequency band. Bark can act both as single band compressor and with up to 27 bands in multiband mode by linking critical bands. The linear phase filter bank with its steep filter slopes can be used for unusually pronounced filter effects too... Features: • Multi band dynamic range compressor with up to 27 bands • Variable number of compressor bands (1..27) • Threshold/Ratio Attack/Release and Makeup Gain • Linear phase precision filters for maximal transparency • Real time pre/post processing calibrated spectrum analyser • AudioUnit for AUv3 compatible hosts. • Inter-app audio compatible effect. • Audiobus 3 compatible with state saving. • Low latency live usage with mic and headphones. • Audio recorder}

One of your best effects. Would love to have it working on macOS 26 as a plugin for Logic Pro and GarageBand.

Updated: it stopped working on the iPad as well as the iPhone. Purchased this because it says it is a universal app. It does work on the iPad flawlessly. It does not work on iPhone at all and causes extreme distortion and immediate crashes currently as of April 2025. Probably because of the recent iOS updates. Hope it gets at update!

...but not into Logic Pro as an AU on macOS. It has been a year since my original post describing this problem. Could you please look into this matter? Fails validation and this is confirmed in Logic Pro’s Plug-In Manager. Thank you, Harry.

Got this tip from a forum and it’s working great for me, for my recorded electronic dance music jams at least: select preset „triple band“, enable the limiter on the right side, run the audio with AUM through it - done, it‘s loud and mastered. I‘m lazy and don’t want to spend time on mastering and still get acceptable results - this here gives me exactly that. Let’s hope it will continue to work in the future too. For now: great!

This is a great massive, multi and effect. It works well for inter-app audio, and as an Audio Unit for Cubasis 2. For other apps, like Auria or Twisted Wave, the AU version creates unusable noise. The last update was three years ago, so I suspect this will be a problem that stays with the AU for the foreseeable future. For the effect itself, 5 stars. For the compatibility issue, 3

Ich weiss garnicht was ich sagen soll, es macht alles was ich wollte und noch mehr, no brainer buy! Es gibt nur EINE einzige sache, die fehlt: Warum kann man die bänder des filters nicht verlinken? Das ist EXTREM schade, bitte um nen update, das ist echt der einzige wunsch den ich zu Bark noch hätte, dann geb ich fünf sterne! Update: Ein Jahr später kein update, die cpu wird auch zu stark belastet, muss mir wohl ein anderes tool suchen, TB Barricade oder so. Schade.

This is basically a magic bullet for your mix and I’m really really liking it but... It’s almost unusable as a plug-in because the layout is messed up and cuts off a third of the controls. Only some of the AU window resizes dynamically; some elements are static and don’t scale so they fall out of view. Strangely, I’m having the same problem on an iPhone 11 and a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 so it’s not a small screen issue. I’m a bit baffled by the lack of updates considering it’s one of the top selling music apps on a regular basis. Hopefully it gets addressed someday.
