As long as it’s employed in that spirit and you know how to address the sonic issues it’s designed to raise, this clever, easy-to-use plugin really can help you improve the universality of your mixes.

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. 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. 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. MixChecker is mixing assistant that will help you to get better mixes instantly. 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. 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.
