In Edit mode, you can assign any simulated device to any device button, set the distortion amount for that exact device, adjust the stereo base width as well as the volume of the device. Why? Because it offers the new Edit mode. The magic of MixChecker Pro is that it has so many new features while it´s still as easy to use as the original MixChecker. It adds some background noise and it simulates the distortion and narrow base of the real listening conditions. MixChecker Pro turns your studio monitors into consumer devices. And you don’t listen in the same environment and conditions as your audience. That is because you do not use the same equipment the real people use. Have you ever wondered why your music, your videos, showreels, and movies do not sound well when you move out of your studio? Headphones were measured using B&K Type 4128-C. The scale of the distortion level is calibrated in real SPL measured in 1m distance in free field.Īll characteristics of the devices used for identification of model parameters were measured using APx525 Audio Analyzer with acoustic option in anechoic chamber. This also protects your studio monitors against mechanical damage.įor the seamless switching among devices, the overall gain of all devices is normalized to the same objective loudness using algorithm derived from Loudness Unit (LU) meter (ITU-R BS.1770-3) It allows to simulate distortion produced by the device at higher SPL without increasing SPL produced by your studio monitors. The extended Wiener model contains technology that keeps constant energy of the output signal for all distortion levels. The nonlinear model extends the standard Wiener model and introduces dynamic nonlinearity and frequency-dependent nonlinearities while keeps the computing demands low. The non-linear part of the model uses proprietary model based on the Wiener model. The parallel structure of 2nd-order minimum-phase filters brings extremely low latency, minimal phase distortion, and high stability. The dual-band design brings even more precise modeling at low frequencies without reducing precision at high frequencies. Thanks to the filter design on a warped frequency scale, the frequency resolution of the model takes into account the frequency resolution of the auditory system. More info here: Balázs Bank and Germán Ramos, “Improved Pole Positioning for Parallel Filters Based on Spectral Smoothing and Multiband Warping,” IEEE Signal Processing Letters, vol. The linear part of the model uses transfer function modeling by fixed-pole parallel filters based on the dual-band warped filter design. See the full explanation in the user manual. In some cases they helped the simulation process but for many speakers it had negative impact to the fidelity of simulation. We have removed the compensation buttons.And more improvements, like interface zoom, calibration, ….You may walk around your studio when checking the final mix, save the valuable screen size. Remote control is in Beta stage now and the iOS version will be available in a few days after approval. Web browser, iOS and Android remote control. MixChecker Pro comes accompanied by web browser, mobile phone or tablet control.Furthermore, each simulation has adjustable width of the stereo base. Advanced stereo modes. Except of simple Mono mode, MixChecker offers channel swap, listening to each channel separately in both monitors.The adjustable auto advance function does it for you. Auto Advance. You don’t need to browse through simulations manually.The combination with simulated devices is quite sophisticated: When you select simulation of phones, the path of the noise through the headphones and ears is simulated, so you hear the realistic combination of the mix playing from headphones and of the noise, coming through headphones from outside. ![]() Background noise. MixChecker adds a possibility to add some audio background with adjustable volume.We used this experience and we added modeling of these distortions to MixChecker Pro. Distortion. We are experts in exact modeling of distortions and saturations, either of speakers or of amps, preamps and other circuits.To distinguish between them, there could be a custom label placed over each button. You may even assign one simulated device to several buttons, each with different settings. Custom settings and labels for buttons. The MixChecker buttons have several adjustable parameters.Save your selection to several “Button sets” together with stereo base width and volume level for each button. Create sets of simulations. Drag the selected simulations in any order to the MixChecker buttons.New simulations. All characteristics are newly measured, the processing engine is completely different with lower latency and better phase linearity.Everything! Even though the interface has the same elegance and ease of use as the original MixChecker.
