Three plugins to simulate the NS-10 sound
DOTEC-AUDIO DEEMONITOR CM
Dotec-Audio’s DeeMonitor – free with Plugins – is designed to provide a number of references to check your mix. Along with L/R solo and inversion, mid/side balance and the like, it emulates the frequency response of a pair of NS-10 speakers through its ‘Type-N’ setting, in addition to having Genelec and Auratone 5C emulations. vault.computermusic.co.uk
TONEBOOSTERS TB ISONE
Toneboosters’ “Binaural Environment Simulator” was designed offer headphone users a simulated room sound, and monitor emulation to match. Though the NS-10s aren’t specifically singled out as an option, you’ll find both settings like Small Monitors and Nearfield among the many parameters on this plugin. www.toneboosters.com
AUDIFIED MIXCHECKER
With this one, you simply select the type of monitors – or headphones – you’re using, then dial in the sound you want to approximate. MixChecker adapts its output frequency response to help you get an idea of your mix in various contexts. Just like the other two, though, it can’t change the time response of the kit you’re monitoring through. shop.audified.com
