Dry Solo + Wet Solo

[Pyre]

Hi all,

Am I right in thinking that if I export one mix of a MIR project with the Dry Solo button pressed, and another with the Wet Solo button pressed instead, and then load the two audio files into a new project, the end result would sound identical to if I'd exported it with neither button pressed?

If so, that would be a neat way for me to hand both dry and wet to my engineer, so that he could adjust the balance in the mix if necessary.

Thanks!

MIR Pro will indeed give you identical results in both scenarios. But keep in mind that there must not be non-linear effects or randomised changes of the audio data routed into MIR: Any active, non-synched effect plug-ins like modulations and delays etc., or "humanising" in an active MIDI instrument has to be avoided (e.g. by freezing or bouncing the input signals to audio files in a first step).

BTW: Being a mixing engineer by profession, I would pefer to work on the actual MIR-project anyway. :-)

Kind regards,

Hi Dietz,

Just to quickly check, is the same true for wet/dry mute when using MIRacle?

So I could export the track once with the wet MIRacle slider muted, and again with the dry one muted, and when I play them back together it will be identical to one track with neither muted?

It's an awkward work around, but seems the best option if a mixing engineer may not have the MIRacle plugin.

Many thanks,

Pyre

Actually, MIRacle will use some modulation in most of it presets, but in a real-world-scenario it shouldn't make any differerence for the goal you're aiming for. So: Yes, this would work.

Kind regards,

Thanks, that sounds great. The modulation would only affect the wet sound, right?

[Dietz]

Yes.

What I was trying to say that it will be different every time you play the arrangement in real-time, because the modulation is not synchronized.

Kind regards,
