INTRODUCTION
Trackspacer
is a mix tool that creates space in the mix for an instrument, voice, or other audio by
performing automatic, multi-band equalisation on a channel based on the spectrum of another
channel. In real-time it analyses the audio frequency content via side-chain, and applies an
intelligent 32-band EQ to subtract those frequencies from the track where Trackspacer is inserted.
This may sound a little bit confusing, but in reality it’s a very useful mixing tool that can be managed
with a single knob. It’s utility is simple: blend two tracks together giving priority to one over the other.
In order to do that, we insert the plug-in in the track that we want to apply the e
ff
ect, and set up the
side chain so Trackspacer listens to the track that we give priority. At that moment, you’ll be able to
see the spectrum analyser moving. It’s analysing the incoming side-chain signal and reducing the
needed frequencies to the track we inserted Trackspacer in. Then, you just need to increase the
“Amount” knob to the desired value and you’re done.
WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 2.5
Trackspacer has been ported to a new framework, coded from the ground-up in order to keep it
simple for making regular updates and improvements. Then number 1 request we’ve got since its
original release has been lowering the CPU consumption, and that’s what we’ve done in this update.
We also re-created the whole UI from scratch, making it bigger (600 x 600 instead of 400 x 400)
making is suitable for modern displays.
There is only one installer now instead of a di
ff
erent binary for demo and full versions. When
installing the demo you’ll be able to enter the serial number at anytime and turn it to the full version
without having to install anything else.
Support for RTAS has been dropped as well as support for MacOS 10.5 and 10.6, and Windows XP
and Vista.
