I have Tone Boosters TB Isone and it's great but for some reason, my mixes never translated to speakers as expected. Has Waves cracked this problem? I'll certainly download the demo to find out. I am very curious.
 
The manual states that it uses the computer's camera to track your head movements! This is certainly a new twist!

Peace!

I grabbed the demo and will be trying it out for a few days. I'll have to compare it to the tool that C.A. recently released for Sonar.

That's very interesting. I would love to hear how that works.

Re: Waves NX Virtual Mix room HP software 2016/01/29 14:52:49 (permalink)
I downloaded the demo...not much really IMO...now if when you go full
wide that will translate to mixdown then that might have some use
for widening up your mixes...but I see no real benefit to this, especially
when you consider Sonarworks...and there are only 3 presets...

If you REALLY want something useful try this...about the same price

http://everyplugin.com/spatial-sound-card-pro-ssc-stereo.html
 
You can listen to your mix in different studios just by selecting
the one you want to "listen in"...this is far more beneficial IMO...

also there is a surround version

http://everyplugin.com/spatial-sound-card-pro-ssc-standard.html
 
I have the stereo version and it's been quite useful for seeing how the mix
translates from "place to place"...

This is NOT a plugin. It is a standalone and it sits between your program and the Soundcard/Interface.
You may have to mixdown and then listen...nevertheless, still beats running hither and yon checking
your mixes...

I had to get used to "what" it was doing, but it does work well....YMMV

Anyone know where/how to use that new C.A. plug in? Monitorize... I tried to find it but can't seem to locate it. I got the demo of this thing and I'd like to compare it.

Tried the demo. The head tracking concept is interesting but sonically, TB Isone (which I already own) is comparable. And for that reason, I'm out.

Peace!

Interesting to hear that it's comparable to TB-Isone.  I was hoping Waves would have something new and improved over that one.  
 
I actually thought the free Beyerdynamic Virtual Studio gave me a more realistic illusion of being in front of monitors than what I could get with Isone.  YMMV.
 
Cheers,
Eddie

Don't all these work the same way, by bleeding each channel into the other with a small time delay to emulate HRTF?
 
I can see a benefit for those who are forced to mix entirely in headphones but want to get an idea of how their mixes will sound on speakers. It might conceivably help those folks make better mixes. But I'm having a hard time making a case for anybody else benefiting from it.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Yes, they're all based on cross feed, delay, EQ and room simulation. I am one of those who mix entirely on headphones in order not to bother my family at 4:30 AM!  Sonarworks has been a huge help and ultimately, my mix gets a listen in my truck on my way to work. Sonarworks has definitely helped me get my mix really close but these speaker simulation plugins have never helped at all. Everyone will have a different experience though!

Peace!

Yep, that's what I use - bought a second one when they start discontinuing them. 
 
I'm relegated to headphone mixing to prevent my own murder, er, I mean, so as not to disturb my family.  Until I build the barn that will house my personal studio...
