Posted on by


Variety Of Sound kündigte vor kurzem die Veröffentlichung von preFIX, einem kostenlosen pre-mixing und audio alignment tool an. PreFIX wird im Mai veröffentlicht werden.

“preFIX is a pre-mixing and audio alignment tool which typically takes place upfront the mixing process. It provides a clever tool set to clean-up, fix and align audio tracks (typically taken from recordings) concerning overall frequency correction, phase alignment, spatial stereo field corrections and routing. It contains a complete gate/expander solution with a dedicated and comprehensive sidechain filtering path as well.”

 

Features:

  • Main audio path filter
    • Baxandall style shelving filter with pristine audio quality
    • Smooth butterworth high- and lowpass filter with switchable characteristics (12 and 24dB per octave)

  • Sidechain path EQ and filter
    • Whole spectrum “tilt style” balancing filter with adjustable center frequency
    • Smooth butterworth high- and lowpass filter with switchable characteristics (12 and 24dB per octave)

    • Envelope follower section with attack, hold and release control
    • Attack timing features console style peak timings as well as two rms modes
    • Additional gate pre-open timing option
  • Phase alignment
    • Analog style stepless signal phase corrections
    • Detailed options for adopting phase response curve regarding polarity, frequency center and width
    • Additional digital signal delay option
    • Phase control switchable to channel 1, 2 or both
  • Advanced control
     
    • Detailed output channel routing with six different modes
