Wavesfactory Releases TrackSpacer 2.0 – Updated Plugin for Mixing & Post

Wavesfactory first released the original TrackSpacer back in November 2012 where it saw tremendous success from providing a solution for a problem that every mixing engineer has experienced – creating space for an audio source.

TrackSpacer 2.0 accomplishes this by subracting an audio source’s primary frequencies from another audio source or mix. The amount that it scoops out is variable and one of the new features allows users to apply this to “the entire stereo, or only the mid channel.”

No, this is not a new member of Daft Punk – It’s the Default view.

TrackSpacer 2.0 is available now for an introductory price of $51 ($78 MSRP) and is free to existing owners of the original TrackSpacer. The plugin is available for Mac and PC in AU, VST, VST3, RTAS and AAX formats. Now, for more details from Wavesfactory:

“As implied by name, TrackSpacer cleverly creates space or room in a mix for any instrument, voice, or other audio source by performing automatic, multi-band equalisation on a per track basis. But how, exactly, does it do that, then? Quite simply, it analyses the audio frequency content in a track/bus via Sidechain, and applies an intelligent 32-band EQ to subtract those frequencies from the channel/bus where TrackSpacer is inserted — giving room or space to a specific track by reducing its frequencies on another track in realtime, in other words!

It is not a multiband compressor, it is not a dynamic EQ, it’s a completely new approach.

Formats: AU, VST, VST3, RTAS and AAX.

In the mix:

TrackSpacer is versatile and can be used in many different situations. For example, a very basic use is to duck on the bass the frequencies that the kick drum is using.

Introducing the Advanced Panel.

Simply insert TrackSpacer in the bass track and have it listen to the kick track via sidechain, adjust the filters and set the ratio knob. Decide if you want TrackSpacer to subtract frequencies in the entire stereo, or only in the mid channel.

Another use is for post production, when a voiceover has to speak on the top of a background music. Set the plugin so it reduces the frequencies that the voice uses to the background music.

There are many more uses like “acoustic guitar – electric guitars”, “snare drum – overheads”, “snare – synths”.
