FUSER vs MIXaiR

FUSER is an audio plugin that detects frequency clashes between tracks and reduces them dynamically, helping competing parts occupy space in a mix. Resolve Conflicts processes detected channel conflicts and frequency masking automatically. Phase Analyze identifies a phase rotation intended to reduce cancellation between layered sounds. Users can adjust mid/side, Q, attack, and release controls, and listen to the Delta signal. FUSER supports stereo processing and offline file analysis, with views for loudness, peaks, stereo balance, phase correlation, dynamic range, loudness range, and tonal balance/EQ. It runs on macOS 10.15 or later and Windows 10 or later; the Mac version is native for Apple Silicon. Mac hosts can use 64-bit AU, VST 3, or AAX, while Windows hosts can use 64-bit VST 3 or AAX. The listed price is £59 as a one-time purchase, and the maker offers a fully functional 15-day trial. A 30-day money-back guarantee is also listed, subject to deactivation and a support request within 30 days of purchase.

MIXaiR is Salsa Sound's AI-driven automatic audio mixing product for live sports. It processes standard microphone feeds without added tracking or manual operation, managing pitch, crowd, commentary, and AUX-in audio. It can produce multiple mix variants at once, with stereo, 5.1, NGA, and B-format outputs. It supports MPEG-H authoring at levels 3–7 and Dolby authoring, encoding, and decoding. Each mix can receive dynamic loudness processing toward a configurable target standard, and optional sample triggering can enhance sounds that are difficult to hear.

MIXaiR can run on a cloud platform, in a broadcast truck, or in a studio for remote production. The broadcaster solution lists AES-67, MADI, ASIO, SDI, SRT, and NDI connectivity. VST and AU plugins can be used on inputs, sub-mixes, and outgroups; those signals can be monitored and multitrack recorded. Salsa Sound says that after setup, the product produces mixes without manual or external intervention. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers can book a trial through a contact form. Salsa Sound was formed in 2017 by Rob Oldfield and Ben Shirley.
