United Plugins have released FireSpacer by FireSonic, available at the intro price of €15.00, increasing to €69.00 after the promotion, The offer ends August 31st.
FireSpacer makes room for those most important tracks in next to no time. Begin by simply placing the plug-in on the DAW track to be effected, then link the track to be prioritised to FireSpacer’s side-chain and adjust the AMOUNT control to the desired level. Let FireSpacer work its magic — thoroughly analysing the spectrum occupied by guitar, kick, and vocal, or whatever, to selectively suppress colliding frequencies with surgical precision, in other words.
With that being said, though, there is more to FireSpacer than can be achieved by adjusting AMOUNT alone. As such, it includes four processing algorithms that each result in a different sound. Spectral algorithms are much more accurate, but exhibit latency and require more CPU (Central Processing Unit) power, possibly, while low-latency algorithms use minimum phase filters, which have a much broader effect, so are less accurate and more likely, therefore, to remove more frequencies that do not need to be removed.
Furthermore, FireSpacer provides some advanced tweaking options all aimed at creating space in a mix: MIN FREQ controls the minimum frequency to be processed so all frequencies below that will be ignored — useful for limiting the spectrum range to be affected (so, for instance, if a vocal clashes with a guitar and full processing removes the guitar content to the extent that it no longer sounds like a guitar or is simply too quiet, then increasing this value ensures that the lower frequencies of the guitar tone remains unaffected while still providing more room for the vocal by removing the higher frequency content); MAX FREQ controls the maximum frequency to be processed so all frequencies above that will be ignored — also useful for limiting the spectrum range to be affected (so helpful for solving clashes between bass and kick drums, for example, where removing bass content may be difficult since the initial slap of the kick could contain a wide range of frequencies, thereby running the risk of removing the entire bass briefly, so lowering the maximum frequency value to 150Hz, say, should remove low bass frequencies but preserve higher harmonics, ensuring that listeners can still hear the pitch); RELEASE controls how quickly the attenuated frequencies increase the level when they stop colliding — higher the value, the less transparent yet more effective at collision removal FireSpacer becomes; RELEASE is only useful for spectral modes and controls how precise FireSpacer is at targeting clashing frequencies — maximum accuracy removes only frequencies that are almost identical, while, conversely, minimum accuracy removes even frequencies, which are further from each other.
On the face of it, FireSpacer is perfect for blending instruments, vocals, and other audio elements, providing control over the priority of each track in a mix to prevent clutter and preserve clarity. Clearly, creating space in a mix need not be such a complex task after all; anyone looking to achieve professional-quality audio mixing results can breathe a sigh of relief, safe in the knowledge that the most important tracks in their production will have room to breathe!
