Roland R-Mix

According to Roland, V-Remastering and VariPhrase technology combine to allow musicians to see individual pieces of the stereo mix as a color-coded cloud of harmonic matter. Effects, center-cancelling and more can be applied directly to the cloud, and positioned anywhere in the mix.

The mix is broken down into three components – frequency, panning and level. R-Mix makes it possible to view the actual individual instruments within the mix, with each instrument able to have the three aforementioned components adjusted.

The software uses one-screen operation, with menus and navigation described as straightforward.

Features:

• View the elements of a stereo mix as color-coded clouds of energy and frequency matter onscreen
• Select and manipulate any element within a stereo mix
• Create “minus-one” type karaoke files from existing songs by lowering the level of the pre-recorded vocal or any other instrument you select
• Create your own remixes and mash-ups by using two pairs of stereo tracks within R-Mix
• Isolate a desired instrument within a mix, and then solo and slow down that element for study
• Clean up old recordings and master your stereo mixes by adjusting individual instrument levels within a mix and applying noise reduction and effects
• Compatible with Mac and Windows
• Simplified version available for Apple iPad

Availability:
