ClearMixer Manual presented by bakuage.com

What's ClearMixer?

ClearMixer is a VST mixer that automatically reduces interference in your mix. This is ideal for those who want to easily perform a mix with less interference.

Why is it necessary to reduce interferences? When there are multiple sounds that have the same frequency, the sounds are muffled. Since it is normal in nature that sounds interference with each other, humans can recognize multiple instruments even if the sound is muffled. However, if there is little interference, it will be easier to recognize each instrument. If you create a less interference mix, you can make a mix that is easy to hear.

ClearMixer makes it possible to reduce interference between 16 tracks automatically. ClearMixer detects interference among multiple tracks in real time and automatically reduces it. Even cases where the interference exists only for a specific timing can be handled automatically.

Installation

Automated installation and manual installation are available.

Automated installation

Please run the installation script in the extracted directory.

  • install.bat (for full version)
  • install_demo.bat (for demo version)

Manual installation

Please copy VST3 files to the following location.

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3\ClearMixer.vst3
  • C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ClearMixer64.vst3
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3\ClearMixerSender.vst3
  • C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ClearMixerSender64.vst3

If your DAW doesn't support VST3, please copy VST2 files to the following locations.

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins\ClearMixerVst2.dll
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins\ClearMixer64Vst2.dll
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins\ClearMixerSenderVst2.dll
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins\ClearMixerSender64Vst2.dll

Settings

Setting is necessary to use ClearMixer. There are two setting methods. It is a method using ClearMixerSender VST and a method using VST multiple audio input.

The method using ClearMixerSender will work on most DAWs. Although the method using VST multiple audio inputs can be used only with some DAWs, however, it will be seamlessly integrated with DAW.

DAW Comparison

Settings - ClearMixerSender (in Cubase)

What's ClearMixerSender?

ClearMixerSender is a VST for sending the audio signal to ClearMixer. ClearMixerSender has no difference between the full version and demo version.

1. Insert ClearMixer into Master

Insert ClearMixer into the master channel. At this point, the sound is muted. In order to output sound, it is necessary to give audio signal with ClearMixerSender.

2. Insert ClearMixerSender into Track Channel

Insert ClearMixerSender into Track Channel. At this point, the sound will sound. Please control the Track parameter of ClearMixerSender to select which track of ClearMixerSender to send to. Settings were completed.

It is also possible to enter more than one ClearMixerSender on the same track. In that case, the audio signals will be mixed before being sent to ClearMixer.

Notes

DAW's bits and the VST's bits have to be the same to use ClearMixer. The bridge to load 64bit VST from 32bit DAW cannot be used. Please use the same bits version of ClearMixer.

Settings - Multi input (in FL Studio)

There is also a method to set it using VST's multiple audio input function which is widely used in the side chain compression.

1. Insert ClearMixer into master

Insert ClearMixer into the master channel. At this point, the sound is muted. In order to output sound, it is necessary to give audio signal with ClearMixerSender.

2. Send Track Channel to ClearMixer

Send the track channel to the master channel. Although all tracks are sent to the master channel by default, please check it.

Next, assign the channel (Insert 1) that was sent to the Master channel to the input of ClearMixer "Input 0". And, please check the VST input is activated. At this point, the sound will sound.

Demo Version

ClearMixer has two versions - the full version and the free demo version. You can check how to purchase the product version in VST plugin page. Demo version has no function restriction, but silence is inserted occasionally.
