MixChecker Ultra+ Upgrade from MixChecker Pro: Mix Referencing Tool by Audified

MixChecker Ultra+ simulates more than 90 playback devices, including studio monitors, laptops, phones, earbuds, car audio, club PAs and small Bluetooth speakers. Each device can be adjusted independently for volume and stereo base. Audified says the engine also models distortion and clipping, so you can check whether a mix breaks on a selected device.

The new headphone compensation layer corrects the frequency response of a specific headphone model before you switch between simulated devices. The developer presents this as a way to hear the mix without the coloration of your headphones, which is useful when working in untreated rooms or while traveling.

The analysis section includes a Loudness Meter with presets for popular streaming services, a Dynamics Meter that shows peak to short-term loudness ratio, Spectral Analysis, Stereo Analysis and a Gonio Meter for spotting inverted, fully mono or angled signals. The Player module imports a reference track in WAV or MP3 format and compares it with your mix in each module.

You can also load your own WAV impulse responses with the IR Loader to hear the mix in a chosen acoustic space, and an interactive tutorial is built into the plugin.
