Fixate:Midrange is a specialized midrange EQ that starts exactly where most problems arise in many productions: in the mids. Mud, thinness, honk, nasal parts, harshness or an unbalanced spectrum can quickly make mixes sound tiring, cheap or unfocused. This is exactly where the plug-in comes in with a clear approach: analyze, correct, balance. Instead of tedious troubleshooting, you get a tool that quickly and musically works on the typical problem areas in the most important frequency range of the mix.
At the heart of Fixate:Midrange are six intelligent dynamic processors, each dedicated to one of the most common midrange problems. Each area is processed depending on the signal and only intervenes when a problem is actually detected. This makes the processing much more musical than rigid EQ corrections and helps to clean up the mids without making the
Automatic Analyze and Fix workflow
A key feature is the one-button Analyze and FIX workflow. The plug-in analyzes the signal, detects problematic resonances and spectral imbalances and immediately suggests a suitable correction. This makes Fixate:Midrange not only a mixing tool for experienced engineers, but also a very fast helper for producers, creators and mastering setups where decisions need to be made efficiently.
Six controls, six typical problem areas
The interface is deliberately designed to be direct: Mud, Thinness, Honk, Nasalness, Harshness and Spectral Imbalance each have their own control. This allows you to intervene directly and without detours. This is particularly helpful if a
Also for vocals, guitars, dialog and individual tracks
Even though Fixate:Midrange was developed for the master bus, the plug-in is explicitly not limited to mastering. It can also be used for vocals, guitars, instrument busses, dialog tracks or other individual sources. With the appropriate profiles, the processing can be tailored to the respective material, making the plug-in very versatile in both
Reference profiles and teachable target curves
Working with profiles is a powerful feature. You can use existing reference profiles for mastering, vocals, guitar, piano, drums, keys and other applications or learn your own target profiles from reference material. This allows you not only to correct the spectral balance, but also to get closer to a desired sound or a specific production aesthetic.
Technically, Fixate:Midrange works with a model that is based on human perception. The mid-range is divided into critical bands, i.e. precisely those frequency ranges in which the ear perceives correlations, resonances and masking particularly strongly. This is one of the reasons why the plug-in often detects problems where classic analyzers show activity but do not provide any real musical decision support. The result is processing that appears more natural and in practice often leads to the goal more quickly.
Designed for modern workflows
Fixate:Midrange not only has a modern interface, but also many practical tools for everyday use. These include mid and side processing, a resonance meter, HINTMAP display, per-band enable, solo and delta listening, midrange focus listening mode, automatic gain compensation, A/B comparison, a scalable user interface, a preset librarian with categories and tags as well as Apple Silicon compatibility. This makes the plug-in not only intelligent, but also workflow-strong.
