![]() ![]() MixChecker Pro lets you quickly check your mix on over 60 common devices without leaving your studio. Or, you could just use Audified MixChecker Pro. Well, you head back to the studio, do a few tweaks to the eq, levels, and other effects, bounce out the new mix, and head back to the car or other device.Īnd you may have to do this several times before you get the mix sounding the way you want it to on other devices. Maybe the bass is lacking, or the top end is harsh, or entire instruments just disappear. This might be common knowledge for a lot of folks around here but for me it tought me a lesson as to the importance of the snare within the song, especially with faster music styles.Have you ever mixed a song to perfection in your studio, but as soon as you take it to your car or listen to it through small computer speakers, the whole mix falls apart? As longs as I can hear that steady snare the song keeps it's energy, even if the Bassdrum drops completely below the audible level. However I found out thanks to those speakers with their miserable bass reproduction that it's actually the snare that drives them. So for example in rock songs (even in hip hop and electronica) I always thought the bass drum was the key element that drives the rhythm, the most crucial part (next to the voice of course) and I obsessed over the interaction between bass guitar and Bassdrum and how to keep everything clear down there etc. ![]() The fact that the room is not treated and the speakers are quite crappy sounding not only makes for a great reality check for my mixes but has also tought me some stuff that was quite surprising for me. For example I have a pair of "Creative Inspire" multimedia boxes set up in the kitchen - I listen to all kinds of stuff there while doing the dishes and what not, Spotify always on. This is probably obvious to you, but still: What might be worth doing is checking from time to time in a different room with a cheap end user system that you know well. Long story short: You don't need the plugin Oh well, I'm digressing now, sorry for that! This might be common knowledge for a lot of folks around here but for me it tought me a lesson as to the importance of the snare within the song, especially with faster music styles. ![]() Click to expand.Yeah, I'd say you're covered then. ![]()
