7/2/2023 0 Comments Mixchecker alternative![]() ![]() When you listen to your reference track, make sure that it is not running through any of the processing and effects that your mix is. You can place the selected emulations in any order on the MixChecker Pro selection buttons, rename the labels, and assign one device to several buttons with different settings (e.g. For example, load the eight different car audio emulations, and have MixChecker cycle through them. If your mix sounds comparable to your reference tracks, it should translate just fine on different speakers and in different settings. MixChecker Pro can step through the emulations automatically. The key is to reference your mix against known good mixes to see how and where you can improve yours. If you can get your mix in the ballpark of a commercial mix after soloing the different frequency ranges, it'll get you a lot closer than just trying to make it sound good on the different Mixchecker options. It will help you identify pretty quickly if you have too much bass in your mix for example. Then compare your mix vs the commercial reference with the different frequency ranges on the isol8 plugin. Great stuff.Hi I suggest that when you are trying to dial in the frequencies and levels on your mix, first find a commercial song (or a few) that have a similar sound (or sections) to what you think your mix should sound like. I end up using it on vocals pretty often for the "radio effect" type of sound.Ībout their other plugs, i do like their U78 comp and saturator too. I've listened to high-end flagships like Focal SM9 and ADAM S3H in a 40% glass little room with no acoustic treatment and it sounded like cheap 30$ chinese hifi speakers -> to get the best out of the references that the plugin's trying to provide the user with they first need an accurate monitoring system to get the best out of it.Īlso, i'm using Mixchecker as an effect too. Good monitors doesn't mean they'll perform good in an untreated room, they'll act anything but flat. So basically my laptop example wasn't aimed at you by any means, it was just an example to justify the fact that the plugin might not resonate with users who expects it to sound exactly like the equipment/laptops/phones they have around. But i've heard someone a while ago on this forum saying that the plugin's laptop impulse didn't sound at all like their laptop speakers therefore calling the plugin "trash" and i found that statement so funny and narrowminded. No regrets so far.Ĭlick to expand.Just like i said, if it doesn't connects with you then it's all good, others will still stick to it if it works for them. ![]() ![]() i don't use the plugin just for its intended purpose, i also automate the bypass switch to use it as a "radio or telephone effect" on vocals and stuff like that. Use it in a trashy untreated room on KRK Rockits or alike and obviously that the plugin will "act trash" in its sonic behavior. , with high quality flat studio monitors (mid-range and above) and a well treated room the plugin is actually super useful, because it will work as intended. Because you can also specify the size of your monitors woofer for a more accurate emulation. That's one thing that i love about Mixchecker. Mixchecker it's like a plugin version of Barefoot's MEME technology that's built in inside their monitors and that allows the users to make the Barefoot speakers sound like NS10s, Mixcubes, etc. Click to expand.The only problem with that plugin is that, compared to MixChecker, Isone can only simulate speakers and a mixing enviroment inside the headphones, while Mixchecker can simulate others speakers on your actual speaker monitors, not just headphones. ![]()
