A new plug-in bundle from immersive audio specialist Dear Reality reckons to enhance any stereo production with a simplified mixing workflow and uniquely spatial audio – the Stereo Production Bundle includes the dearVR Mix virtual mix room plug-in and dearVR Music spatialiser plug-in.
While dearVR Mix offers reliable headphone mixing in customisable virtual mix rooms, dearVR Music adds a 360° panner and spatial reverb that gives depth and width to a mix.
‘By combining our high-precision dearVR Mix virtual mix room with the advanced dearVR Music spatialiser, we are ensuring fully reliable stereo mixing through headphones while at the same time breaking down the barriers of stereo to add unique depth and width to a recording,’ explains Dear Reality co-CEO, Achim Fell
The dearVR Music plug-in has been designed to break down the limitations of crowded stereo mixes. It relies on 18 true-to-life virtual acoustic environments for music production, such as a concert hall, church, stage, drum room and other environments. ‘With dearVR Music’s advanced virtual acoustics, you can enrich every production with an immersive feel for the listener,’ says Dear Reality co-CEO, Christian Sander. ‘The plug-in provides a big sound to all instruments that you want to sound huge.’
With dearVR Mix, engineers and content producers can be certain that mixes translate well to other sound systems and locations, whether produced are on the road or in the studio. Based on advanced spatial audio technology, dearVR Mix turns any studio headphones into a world-class stereo mix room with carefully designed acoustics. The plug-in also features Dear Reality’s Spatial Headphone Compensation. This adapts the 45 most used professional studio headphones to the selected virtual mixing room, enabling a model-independent, stable simulation of a perfect acoustic environment.
The Stereo Production Bundle is available from the Dear Reality store now, priced at €169 (plus local VAT) or US$189 (plus local VAT).
