MiRA Session is an audio spectrum and metering system with customizable workspaces, loudness standardization, and real-time analysis for precise mix monitoring.
Purpose and Core Tools
MiRA Session, from Flux, is an audio analysis and metering system designed for music, podcasts, and other audio content. It provides comprehensive visual feedback to help you maintain control over your mix levels and meet loudness standards. The tool includes pre-configured metering modes compliant with ITU-1770 and EBU-R128, plus presets for streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Netflix.
The interface is intuitive and fully customizable, with workspaces, layouts, and settings that adapt to your workflow. Predefined analysis and metering layouts offer a quick starting point. Real-time metering statistics are available across Spectrum, Spectrogram, and Scope layouts, giving you detailed insights into your audio signal.
Key Capabilities
MiRA Session delivers real-time control of your stereo mix through precise spectrum analysis. Its unique algorithm mimics human ear perception, ensuring accurate representation of what listeners hear. The system supports all industry-recommended loudness targets, giving you confidence that your mix is delivered at the optimal level.
Additionally, the Nebula scope analysis provides control over the stereo field across frequencies, helping you visualize and manage spatial elements. The RTA range mode offers manual, auto, compressed, and compressed auto settings, allowing you to tailor the analysis display to your needs.
Workflow Integration
A standout feature is proprietary Sample Push technology from Flux, which extends integration with the MiRA Sample Grabber plugin. This plugin extracts samples directly from the insert chain in any compatible DAW, enabling instant analysis without manual audio routing. This streamlined workflow saves time and ensures you can analyze specific audio segments on the fly.
The LUFS meter supports EBU R128 and PLOUD norms for the latest loudness standards. Integrated presets for popular streaming platforms simplify compliance, allowing you to switch targets quickly and ensure your mix matches platform requirements. This is especially useful for mastering and content delivery.
Practical Applications
MiRA Session is ideal for mixing and mastering engineers who need accurate level monitoring and loudness control. For music producers, it helps balance elements and avoid clipping while ensuring competitive loudness. Podcasters and audio content creators can rely on it to meet broadcast standards, ensuring their shows sound consistent across platforms.
The customizable workspaces and layouts make it easy to set up a monitoring environment that suits your specific workflow, whether you prefer a minimal display or a comprehensive suite of meters. The sample grabber integration is particularly beneficial for sound designers and post-production pros who need to analyze and tweak specific audio segments in context.
