![]() The question, therefore, is: does it matter that MixChecker Pro can’t 100% nail the sounds of the setups it simulates, thanks to those unmanageable variances? We’d say it doesn’t, no, as with even a half-decent playback system, you certainly get a reliable enough impression of how a track will come across on a wide range of speakers to inform those crucial broad-strokes mixing decisions. And even with that requirement met, of course, the frequency response of your particular speakers will inevitably exert an influence on the sound, so those virtual Yamaha NS10’s can’t ever sound exactly like the real thing. A calibration system is apparently in the works, but what it ultimately means for now is that MixChecker Pro requires high-quality monitors to work effectively. The Compensation feature from MixChecker, which counters the amount by which listening through headphones or small speakers affects the simulation, has been dropped - apparently because there are too many variables between systems to cater to. ![]() Various global functions are on hand for adding environmental noise, distortion and more - see Noises off - and the free MixChecker RC iOS/Android remote control app works well, duplicating most of the UI on a wirelessly connected phone or tablet. Load up your preset bank of PA systems, for example, and you’re looking at a series of identical, unlabelled buttons. The generic, uneditable device icons are irritating, though (why can’t we import JPEGs?), as is having the name of each device only show up as a tooltip when moused over, rather than simply printed in abbreviated form under the icon. Lastly, clicking Auto sets the plugin cycling through the 12 loaded models at a step rate of 1-12 seconds, as set by the Time knob. The Mono button switches the output to monophonic, based on the left or right channel, or both, or swaps left and right, depending on the setting in the Channel Mode menu. ![]() The Noise level is adjustable down to -30dB, and, crucially, it’s appropriately filtered when used with the headphone models. Noise mixes one of 14 sampled real-world ambience noise loops in - Street, Park, Mall, Subway, etc - for ‘environmental’ auditioning. When illuminated, only the clean signal comes through MixChecker.At the bottom of the interface are five global function buttons (including Bypass) and a pop-down panel containing controls for a couple of them.Īctivating Distortion simulates the distortion generated by the current device as if the input signal was arriving at the SPL set using the Distortion slider in Edit mode. The Bypass button turns all processing off. That will change the resulting sound accordingly. It will allow you to tell MixChecker, you are using an average of 5" or 8" speakers or headphones. Therefore we also added the Compensation section. Not all studio monitors deliver a flat frequency response. Pressing a single button will turn your monitors into the selected device. The Simulation offers acoustic models of several consumer devices and classic reference monitors. ![]() MixChecker functions are divided into two sections. Now you can use the MixChecker to perform a quick, all-round test that will only take a few seconds, and get back to mixing and corrections while you still know what the problem in your mix was. Import your mix to your smartphone, burn onto CD, and listen in your car, get back to your studio, make some little tweaks, and repeat the whole process again…. In the past, to ensure your mix sounded right on any device, you had to export your sound and listen in different conditions. Plug it in the master track of your project as the last segment of your listening chain and quickly turn your studio monitors into classic reference monitors or several consumer devices. To bring the best quality to your audience, you need to check your mixes as often as possible. ![]() Have you ever wondered why your music, your videos, showreels, and movies do not sound well when you move out of your studio? Why do they lose punch and clarity that your awesome studio monitors deliver? That is because you do not use the same equipment the real people use. You need your mix to sound great regardless of what lousy conditions your audience uses. They even use their desktop speakers, tablets, and smartphones or their earphones. They watch TV, listen to music in their cars. The consumers, the people you are mixing your content for, do not use hi-end studio monitors.
