Upon initially using MixChecker, I found that a few of the models sounded a little off. The tablet and laptop speaker settings were OK, but I didn’t find myself using them as much as the other 3 mentioned above. I found the “Classic Studio” monitor to be helpful in targeting mid range balance issues as well but since I do not own a pair of NS10’s cannot attest to the accuracy of the model. The desktop speaker setting was very close to my Logitech speakers I use to check mixes with as well.
There were times when I would lose track of which was the cell and which was mix checker. Instantly my speakers sounded eerily similar when switching between the phone and MixChecker, almost like the speakers had shrunk. I am using a set of Focal Solo 6Be speakers so compensation was not being used.
#MIXCHECKER DESKTOP PRO#
I ran an A/B comparison by playing a file on my cell phone and on my Pro Tools system using MixChecker on the Cell Phone setting. Simply click on each icon to experience what Audified considers models of each device. You are given the choice of:Īudified does no go into the specifics of how this is accomplished but it is assumed that phase shifting, EQ, and some impulse responses are at play to emulate these different types of systems. This features 12 different types of common everyday devices in which most audio is being played through. Below the “Compensation” section is the “Simulation” section. To the right of the compensation section is the “Bypass” section which completely disables processing on the plugin. If you are listening through high end monitors it is best to leave this off. This isn’t exact science due to the many different types of monitors and headphones on the market, each having different EQ curves, but it helps. The interface, although a little dated looking, is simple – at the top you have your compensation section that will work to help flatten the frequency response for either 5” mixing monitors, 8” mixing monitors, or headphones. The concept is really straightforward, but is it effective?
#MIXCHECKER DESKTOP MAC#
It is available in AU, VST, and AAX, for both Mac and PC, and uses iLok for registration. MixChecker is a plugin that goes at the end of your mix buss and emulates different common listening devices for consumers, thus eliminating the need to go on a listening world tour to experience how your track sounds in each situation. What if there were a plugin that models these devices and you could monitor all straight from the comfort of your control room without moving from that ergonomic mesh back chair you dropped $300 on? Audified has come up with a solution with “MixChecker”. It’s an extremely nerve wracking process that needs to happen to ensure audio sounds good across all mediums. We constantly worry about how our mixes will translate and spend precious time exporting, emailing files to ourselves, running to the car, listening on the phone, and repeating until you’ve used up storage space on your email and other devices. We all have multiple speakers in the studio to reference data.
