This plugin doesn’t totally replace how valuable bringing your mix to different environments can be, but it certainly comes close and saves a ton of time in the process.Ĭheck the links below to get the Audified MixChecker for yourself.We will notify you by email when your return has been processed. Instead of doing a mix, then bringing it out into the world, writing down tweaks, and going back to the drawing board, you can get a near-perfect mix while saving quite a lot of time. Where this plugin comes in, however, is that you may not need to do that anywhere near as much. Why? Nothing can replace a real-life listening environment. We recommend still listening to your mixes in your car and on different systems. Sure, sounds are going to vary widely depending on your real-life environment, like the room you’re listening in and the headphones you’re using, but this is definitely a helpful tool. The car option sounds like you’re listening in a car, the earbuds option like you’re listening to earbuds, and so on. In general, while the plugin isn’t perfect the processing options it has seem to be pretty accurate. It’s aimed at delivering a flat frequency curve no matter what your listening situation is, but the options are just too vague to really help - for example, the “headphones” button is obviously going to vary hugely depending on the headphone model you’re actually using. Perhaps the least helpful section of the plugin is the Compensation section. So, when you’re going through the settings make little tweaks so that you can achieve a mix that sounds good in all situations. If you have a great mix, it should sound great across all of the different settings - that’s the ultimate goal of a great mix. When you first install the plugin, we recommend playing around with it for a few hours and loading up a few songs that you’re nice and comfortable with so as to get a sense of how each algorithm sounds. SoundĬonsidering there aren’t really any other plugins like this out there, it’s hard to compare it to anything. That’s a good thing - the point of MixChecker is to make checking mixes easier, and it would be a little counterintuitive if the interface was too difficult to learn. That’s really it - there’s no hidden tab, no secret features you’re missing, and no steep learning curve to discourage you from learning how to use the plugin at all. Those include a TV, the car, earbuds, a laptop, a phone, and so on. Next to that, there’s a bypass button, and under that you’ll find 12 buttons representing different listening environments. You’ll find a row of “Compensation” buttons, which let you choose what kind of system you’re listening on between 5-inch monitors, 8-inch monitors, and headphones. All you need to do is insert the plugin on your master bus, and you’re good to go. The interface of MixChecker is extremely simple.
