Newfangled Audio has released Fixate:Midrange. A spokesperson told us, "Melody, harmony, texture, and ambience all fight for space in the midrange. This causes problems. Fixate:Midrange clears the mud, tames the harshness, and restores balance to the busiest region of your mix. Just Analyze, Fix... and wonder why midrange was ever hard. "
Fixate:Midrange targets the six most common midrange issues, each with a dedicated intelligent processor. Every correction is dynamic and signal-dependent, activating only when a problem is detected.
Fixate:Midrange was built for the master bus, but it doesn't stop there. Apply the same intelligent correction to individual tracks with dedicated profiles for vocals, guitars, and more. Clean up a vocal mix. Tame an unruly guitar bus. Fix dialog.
Fixate:Midrange is built on a model of human hearing. The plug-in divides the midrange into critical bands (frequency regions where your ear groups sound together) and analyzes energy within each band relative to its neighbors. This is how your ears actually detect resonances, and it's why Fixate catches problems that conventional spectrum analyzers miss. The result is processing that feels natural and sounds musical, because it's working the way your hearing does.
