Acon Digital

A chorus that is mono-compatible, sounds good and is also free. What else can you say except a full 5 stars. Thanks to the developers! I wish I had discovered Multiply earlier. I like to use it on bassline layers because there the phase is important to me.

After a trial of Acoustica 7.5+ I found the app very functional and satisfying to work with. The addition of a caption editor is handy, would be better to include a "screen" for the video too. However, 4 things held me from purchase, having to do with the workflow:

1) I couldn't find a quick way to navigate the audio wave forwards or backwards. Something like shift-mouse wheel would be ideal; now I have to go up & down pressing the bar with the mouse... Also no shortcut available. Not efficient!
2) no general bussing for applying effects/plugins to the whole mixed signal. Maybe I'm missing something here?
3) the possibility for multiple selection within the editing window of recorded audio. Like Izotope RX does?
4) in ultitrack mode selecting part of a track is a pain, or I missing something again.

Waiting for the next version :-).

I remember being astonished by iZotope RX Music Rebalance in 2018.

I remember being excited by Stagecraft Software, Simple Stems.

I do NOT agree with Simon Heyden, Music Producer, who states that ''The quality of these stems is exceptional''. It is pretty good. Good enough to be useful to me. Certainly not perfect and certainly not exceptional.

I bought it after demoing. It's great to have a tool like this available in my DAW of choice. I'm happy with my purchase in 2023.

Disclaimer: This is not a proper review; yet, I wanted to share my initial impressions.

Remix by Acon Digital is simple amazing. .. especially for the price. I used as a plugin with my DAW and inside Acoustica. In both cases, the results were mostly astonishing. I dropped an old rockabilly song in there. I figured that would be an ideal start-point as it was a 4-track recording with Drums, Bass, Guitar, and Vocals. I flew through the presets, i.e., Karaoke, Separate Bass, Separate Drums, Separate Piano, and Separate Vocals. Each preset worked perfectly. .. removing/isolating. The only place I struggled was separating the guitar. However, separating Vox, Drums, and Bass worked flawlessly. I was amazed at how each instrument completely vanished without losing the other stuff.

Remix boasts a neat/clean, easy to use/inviting interface with a responsive scaling feature. I will certainly make great use of Remix. .. so many exciting ways to utilize this tool for music production. I look forward to upcoming updates. I give it a 9/10 (so far) and a big fat thumbs up.

Been using this now on 80% of my songs. It just works exactly the way I like my hall reverbs to sound. Very light load too.

Great EQ, gives you tons of control on shaping your sound. Has everything a EQ needs, can achieve really steep slope. Looks great also. This is the only EQ I use. -AGODD.

Very easy to use reverb. There's about two controls - almost impossible to mess up. Never really found myself wishing for EQ controls, but you can stick one after it if you need it. My only real issue is that I wished the different reverb modes were synced to the host BPM. Would make it perfect for every situation in that case.
