01Overview

Remix is an audio utility plugin that uses artificial intelligence to split a finished mix into five instrument groups, called stems. The developer, Acon Digital, describes it as the first plugin able to do this in real time with acceptable latency. Each stem can be raised, lowered or removed, which makes it possible to boost vocals, pull back drums or create a karaoke version. Separate outputs for each stem let you route them to their own tracks and apply insert effects to them individually.

Real-time stem separation and sensitivity control

Remix separates a mix into Vocals, Piano, Bass, Drums and Other stems. For each stem, a sensitivity control sets how the detection behaves, so you can find a balance between artifacts and spill from other sources. Acon Digital notes that every parameter is fully automatable, so changes can be drawn into your host's timeline.

Alongside the main mix output, Remix provides an output for each stem, with level meters shown per stem so you can monitor what each one is carrying.

Routing stems to separate outputs in your host

The plugin offers Mix, Vocals, Piano, Bass, Drums and Other outputs. If your host supports it, you can send these to separate tracks, which lets you use insert effects on each stem as if you had five individual tracks.

Remix includes a preset manager with a large set of factory presets, along with options to save, load and categorize your own. The interface can be resized and its scaling adjusted.
