So, to save you transferring your mix to numerous devices, copying it to USB sticks and burning it to CDs, Audified has developed a neat solution.
#Mixchecker alternative professional
The (rather sad) fact is, that for all the hours professional engineers put into perfecting a mix, most music is listened to on ear buds and other very lo fi devices.Īnd the problem, as you undoubtedly know, is that the music will sound different depending on what you listen to it on.
Here’s a thing – if you read just about any book or article on mixing (or cast your mind back to the last you did) it probably suggested that you listen to your mix on as many different types of playback device you can find from hi fis to smart phones, and car radios to laptops.Īnd it’s good advice because although you may spend hours – or days – creating the perfect flat mix, no one is going to listen to it on your set-up – except, perhaps, your Mum. Great stuff.Last Updated on Jby Andrew Culture Turn your studio monitors into a range of alternative playback devices at the click of a button. 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.
