New audio processing software | Roland R-MIX

[BradTheProducer]

I think this is going to end up being primarily a way for people to single out and slow down elements for learning to play them themselves, not to create anything new meant to be listened back to.

looks cool but don't see it meaning massively useful in the studio. It doesn't have groovescope (varios/variphrase) or the ability to directly integrate with a DAW

[DannyMoggs]

does this mean that you can completely isolate one instrument or vocal out of a track to create a high quality stem for use in remixing?

[irq909]

@DannyMoggs Don't count on it. Unless you're dealing with super clean tracks (such as the demo in this video) you won't get a perfect isolation from anything at this price point. Even if you manage to isolate only the sounds you want for an almost clean stem, that means you've selectively filtered out everything else, and you'd need some powerful resynthesis to reconstruct the harmonics missing from your "stem".

[Tonneman]

a real waste of money. The technology only works decently with the included demo-track, since that track is a rather clean mix with instruments spread over the stereo panning.

Try a regular pop track, and r-mix will be useless.

$199 RRP for Australia. I s'pose it will be half price ROW.

So this is a modern version of the center elimination tool... NICE! :-) Looks like a great tool for DJs and people creating Karaoke mixes... but it sounds like the quality is more like a low bitrate MP3 so I'm not sure if a professional would use it. And it obviously won't work with mono signals... Anyway, I'd be interested in how it compares with sonicWORX, which is what I am using in the studio right now. Has any of you seen a price tag for this?

Anyone know how much it costs?

[bluerick]

Anone know how much it costs?

[zotlerg]

Just do it in real-time with 8 different areas, already available here:-

Mashtactic - at quikquak.

 - and it's cheaper.

[3DDFanatic]

@zotlerg That software is too confusing to install. I think Roland's product will be better than that. You never know, it might be cheaper than Mastactic.

[zotlerg]

@3DDFanatic I've tried it, all you have to do is copy it into your plug-ins folder, or run the package installer. It's not confusing, but standard. It won't be cheaper.

[3DDFanatic]

@zotlerg That's the point, I don't have a "plug-ins" folder. Do I have to get the software required to use that?

[zotlerg]

@3DDFanatic Well if you don't know what an audio plug-in is, then you'll have to search for 'audio plug-in' on the internet or for 'VST' or 'Audio unit', alternatively read your DAWs manual.

Nice, really can't wait to try this out.

[itsmeafreak]

@23Jecks me too ;)

so it's another app? or is it importable to logic?
