U-Mix

For Running a live mix, a rehearsal, a stream or a recording from the interface you already own, with monitor mixes, effects and scenes, and control from anywhere in the room.

• On every strip that carries audio: high-pass and low-pass, a 6-band EQ where each band can be a bell, shelf, pass filter or notch, a gate that can also expand or duck from another channel, a compressor with parallel mix and key input, and a de-esser. A 31-band graphic EQ on buses, subgroups, outputs and the master.
• Eight effect slots, each running any of thirteen effects: plate, hall, room, delay, ping-pong, chorus, flanger, phaser, doubler, drive, an amplifier with four amps and four cabinets, pitch shift, and pitch correction to a key and scale. Any slot can be an insert.
• Stereo mix buses for in-ear mixes, subgroups, DCAs, six mute groups, matrix outputs, PFL / AFL monitoring, talkback, automix, a gain assistant and a feedback finder that marks the ringing frequency and notches it.
• The screen follows the selected strip: the EQ over a live spectrum, twelve seconds of level and gain reduction behind the gate and compressor curves, a picture for each effect, and a Meters page with loudness in LUFS.
• Scenes with timed glides and recall limited to twelve kinds of setting; the current mix is saved by itself. Recording of the main mix, multitrack recording, and virtual soundcheck (play a take in place of the band).
• Two cards at once on Windows: a second interface is bridged in with its clock kept in step, for more inputs or outputs. Other devices, virtual cables and computer audio come in as ports.
• One VST3 effect per strip, each in a process of its own on Windows, so a plugin that crashes cannot take the mixer with it.
• Network audio (AES67 send and receive), OSC, Mackie Control surfaces with two extenders, a phone layout, and a QR code that puts the mixer on a phone or tablet.
• Two editions from one program. Free is the mixer, with no time limit. Pro adds plugins on strips, network audio, a second card, and multitrack with virtual soundcheck.
• Pictured here on a simulated 8-in / 8-out card with a test tone in one monitor mix. It has not been tried with AES67 or Dante hardware, with two real interfaces at once, or with a Mackie surface; the macOS and iOS builds are set up but not built or tested.
