When checking a mix outside the studio it takes an analytical listening environment to professionally evaluate the sound in the best possible way that a track deserves. The app tackles this need with a lot of features providing the most objective/reliable soundcheck and getting the most out of the whole process of improving and finally approving a mix. So „Soundcheck.“ is for the interaction between mix engineer and artist or just for everyone who wants to check a mix outside the studio – like in the car or on headphones etc. – in the best possible way. Here are the key facts: - Upload up to 12 audio files per project (4 mixes, each in stereo, binaural or spatial) - Fluent AB-comparisons between mix versions - Different levels can be compensated via „Loudness Match“ - Mixes can be compared blind via „Blind Test“ - Preview what your song what sound like on Spotify, Apple Music & Co. - Download the audio files, request revisions or just take notes on each mix within the app - A Soundcheck project can be created online as well as offline - Mixes can be uploaded via the mobile app as well as the separate available MacOS App to master your data transfer workflow between devices.
