Newfangled Audio has launched a new audio plugin which is designed to clear the mud, tames the harshness, and restores balance to the busiest region of your mix.
Fixate:Midrange features intelligent midrange problem detection and a one-click analyze and fix workflow with 6 targeted issue controls.
Fixate targets Mud, Thinness, Honk, Nasalness, Harshness, and Spectral Imbalance with dedicated processors that transparently tame problems to bring out punch and clarity. Analyze your track, press fix, and get fast, reliable results. Or to get hands on, follow visual hints which highlight problem areas across the plugin on knobs, meters, and throughout the interface.
Built for the master bus but flexible enough for any track, Fixate:Midrange works on vocals, guitars, synths, or any critical midrange source. The Balance section refines your overall tone while preserving character, so the result stays true to your sound, just cleaner and more controlled. Ideal for producers who want better mixes and engineers who want them faster.
