5. Adjust the Low Pass Frequency and High Pass Frequency controls until you
can hear (and see) that TrackSpacer is subtracting enough of the affected signal
to make room for the audio of the control signal.
Note: Although there are many ways to use TrackSpacer, one effective method is
to create a notch that subtracts only those frequencies that seem to be blurring
or muddying the mix.
6. Fine tune TrackSpacer’s controls using the advanced panel until you find the
sweet spot where both tracks are sitting nicely in the mix.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. Will it work in my DAW?
Yes, it is available in all major formats: VST, VST3, AAX, RTAS and AU (Audio Units)
both for Mac and PC.
2. Is it 64 bit?
Yes, it is.
3. Is TrackSpacer an EQ or a multiband compressor?
We could say that TrackSpacer is the best of both worlds. It is not a multiband
compressor, it is not a traditional EQ, it is not a dynamic EQ, it’s a completely new
approach. I’ll explain why:
A sidechained compressor reduces the “volume” of a track based on the volume
of another track. TrackSpacer reduces the frequencies of a track based on the
frequencies of another track.
A multiband compressor lets you control the volume of the track splitted in a
number of bands, but only the straight volume.
TrackSpacer is a 32 band EQ that creates automatic EQ curves based on the
spectral content of another track to make more room for this track.
4. Is it a miracle plugin?
Of course not, we don’t want it to be. TrackSpacer helps you to get better mixes
more quickly and easily. It can solve specific problems like “I need this acoustic
guitar to pop out because it gets blurried in the middle of the distorted guitars,
synths and piano, but I can’t give it too much volume”, then you would insert
TrackSpacer to fix that.
But it can also be used to mix a whole song, do to its analysis you can get precise
equalisation and subtract only the frequencies that are needed between all
tracks to sit well with each other.
5. The effect is too noticeable.
As we said, it’s not a miracle plugin that you just plug in and it just works. You
still have to use your ears and your music creative perception to fine tune it.
