I haven't tried it yet, but I just found out, it finally has arrived! I have been waiting for this…
🧵 The #automixer #plugin for #Linux!
For those who don't know, automixer is a circuit invented by a guy named #DanDugan. (Today: an algorithm.)
Basically it is a tool that compares all mic channels to all other mic channels. In effect, lowers mics not in use. When multiple mics are used, it averages their levels – very quickly.
Most good digital mixing consoles have a built-in automixer these days, such as the #AMM by #AllenAndHeath. I use it all the time when live-mixing dialogue. Especially with headset omni mics, this isn't a handy tool, it's a live-(sound-)savior. (I once used it on 16 open omni mics, would have been a feedback orgy otherwise.)
If you quickly need to mix down a multi-track recording of spoken live dialogue, this thing will save your behind.
If it works as intended, which I'll have to try.
