The profiles provided are for: kick, snare, hi-hat, drums (kit), bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboards, separate female and male vocal profiles, and a Universal profile--a kind of default mode. It takes only seconds to scan an audio track and then you can use any of three overall timbres or Flavors: Warm, Neutral, and Bright. Furthermore, there is an Intensity fader to raise or lower them as well.

I tried Balancer on all sorts of sources in Pro Tools and I found it a good tool for trying on kicks, snares and vocals. I had fun purposely using the wrong profile! I liked using the vocal profiles on a kick drum! So there is room to experiment here even though this plug-in has limited parameter controls.
