Vocals too high in the mix? Too low? Not even sure? Snare sounds wonky? And how do I make everything louder than everything else? Step in, step in, for your mix Viagra from people who know the secrets.
I think it's stupid myself. I feel bad that someone sank time and energy into this? I feel even worse for people that think this might be a tool that will make them better at mixing?
It makes a claim "NO MORE EXTRA EXPORTS"
Is it that hard and that much of inconvenience to bounce a track and listen to it an ACTUAL different playback system, in an ACTUAL different environment?
right?! I very rarely get vexxed over stuff but this is just a simple and blatant cash grab? I mean aside from the glaring obvious stupidity of the product, the point of referencing mixes (IMO) is to actually listen on different sources in different environments? All that box is essentially doing is just "preset" eq's to simulate different outputs in the same listening environment?
how is that helping anything?
Short Answer: it isn't helping Billy McBasement studio improve his or her mixing skills or mixes, it is helping buddy make some money off lazy mixers.
Is it me or does the voice only come from one side? That's not too professional.
He used "muffled " quite a bit.
Well, a bunch of generalisations that simulate devices - seriously - if someone's listening to music on the speakers of their phone, tablet or laptop then they don't care. Why would you MIX for those?
The others are almost equally nonsensical. Revelation a MONO button! Hey, if the phone/pad/tablets sims are accurate, (& the blokes assertion is correct), then wouldn't they playback in mono by default?
I had a look/listen to their "Voice Executor" as well - amazing ONLY presets - no tweaking allowed and it adds masses of essing - particularly in "voice over/narrator" mode.
I think they've spent more time on the look of the interface than anything else.

A yep. That was the first thing I noticed.
I could see this as a useful tool for quick checks while you're mixing. You could spot any of the particularly egregious burrs on your mix before you do the car test. $150 for something you could accomplish with some EQ presets is probably excessive.
