Arnau Sala, head of studies at EUMES and electronic music producer, brings us a new plug-in: TrackSpacer, by Waves Factory.
Below, we will see how it can be used and all the advantages it can bring to the mixing tasks of our productions.
Waves Factory – Trackspacer
This plug-in is one of those that makes your life much more comfortable and saves you a lot of time in mixing tasks.
Com funciona?
Trackspacer has a 32-band equalizer that responds to the signal input from the side-chain .
The plug- in analyzes the frequency spectrum of the side-chain and applies an inverted equalization curve to the track where the plug-in is inserted. It does this process dynamically.
In the new version they have added an M/S function, which allows us to apply it only to the mono part of the signal, for example.
Where can we use it?
Let’s give a quick and clear example:
We have one vocal theme with a line of distorted bass . Despite being a bass, being distorted it has harmonic content in the mid/mid-high frequencies.
The bass masks the voice and we want the frequencies where the voice is located to be reduced in the bass when it is heard.
What we will do is:
- Insert trackspacer in the bass.
- Select the vocal track from the side-chain input.
- Apply the percentage that best fits the voice without losing presence in the bass.
This way we will have a clearer voice. In addition, the sidechain will not affect the lowest frequencies, where the voice does not sound and the bass will retain its body.
From here, the possibilities are endless.
Note: 8/10
