Magic AB Referencing VST/AU Plugin by Sample Magic

Sample Magic release Magic AB, a useful VST/AU/RTAS audio plugin that allows the music producer to switch between the audio they are working on in their DAW with up to 9 reference tracks.

Another tip from well-known producers has always been to compare their own mixes with those of well-known artists in the mixing process. This is the only way you can ensure that your own track can be compared to current productions in terms of sound. A good example is the use of exciters. There is often a tendency to exaggerate this effect. If you then compare your own track with a chart production, the excessive use is immediately apparent.

There are many ways to compare with reference tracks inside your DAW, but it always involves a lot of detours. You have to switch individual tracks on and off, adjust the volume manually, etc. It’s different with Magic A/B. The plug-in is simply loaded into the master track and up to 9 tracks can be loaded via the interface for comparison.

All common audio formats are supported: MP3, AIFF, WAV, M4a, and AAC.
