🧵 … adding to this: The guys from #atkAudio not only have this great #automixer plugin, they're also bringing #VST3, and even better, #LV2 to #OBS. For free.

I bought #atkAutomixer, even though I don't have a dialogue mixdown project currently going on, but I know one day I will use it.

83€ are a lot of money, and they declare it to be a special offer.

But then again, mixing one hour of dialogue audio can easily take you a work day that no client would want you to pay for… so it's worth it, I think.

🧵 #atkAutomixer, the first #automixer #plugin for #Linux to my knowledge.

Testing the demo right now. It is very promising!

It works in #Mixbus (I use #MixbusPro). Just dropped its VST3 folder to ~/.vst3, rescanned plugins… go.

It has a cool and crazy concept: You just add an instance to every channel. And all instances will talk to each other, forming one huge inter-connected insert voodoo.

The screenshot is from a recording I found in my archive, 2 lectern mics for 1 speaker, + 1 other mic for an interpreter. Very reverberant large hall. Whenever the interpreter interrupts, the lectern mics will get turned down, lowering the overall reverb coming from these.

The only thing that didn't work out that well is the order of channels after re-opening the project. I guess Mixbus does not instantiate the plugins in the order of the channels on loading. But usually I don't adjust anything in the automixer anyways, so it doesn't matter.
