Spanish sample libraries and audio plug-in developer Wavesfactory has announced the release of its TrackSpacer 2.0, an update to its space-creating plug-in.
TrackSpacer was developed in collaboration with French virtual instrument and “plug-in guru” Xavier Oudin (of XILS-lab).
As implied by name, the TrackSpacer plug-in creates space in a music mix for any instrument, voice, or other audio source by performing automatic, multi-band equalization on a per-track basis.
How does it work? TrackSpacer analyzes the audio frequency content in a track/bus via SideChain, and applies an intelligent 32-band EQ to subtract those frequencies from the channel/bus where TrackSpacer is inserted — giving room or space to a specific track by reducing its frequencies on another track in real time.
TrackSpacer 2.0 features:
The updated TrackSpacer 2.0 update offers AAX support; new Attack/Release controls; M/S mode (to subtract frequencies on the mid channel, the sides, or anything in between); L/R mode improvements (pan the effect in the left channel, right channel, or anything in between); SideChain listen function (to hear what’s coming through the SideChain input with filters applied to better fine-tune the plug-in); and several GUI improvements, including a new Advanced Panel, color lines, LED light on the FREEZE button, brighter knobs, and clear, white background.
Pricing and availability.
TrackSpacer 2.0 can be ordered online for an introductory price of 39.00 EUR (rising to 59.00 EUR) directly from Wavesfactory.
That’s an interesting device. I’m going to see if I can knock up something similar using Reaktor.
