If, in Windows, when using the Windows VST versions of Flux:: plug-ins (Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar etc.) you experience problems with white/blank and other strange looking GUIs. Missing text, strange fonts or any other GUI problems, a common problem is that the plug-in .dll files have been moved manually from the original VST-folder used in the plug-in installation.

If this is the case, you have to uninstall the plug-ins, remove any files that were moved manually and hence not removed in the uninstallation, and finally re-install the plug-ins and instead change the plug-in path during the installation.

If you’ve installed a new updated version on top of a previous version, you may need to perform a plug-in re-scan in your DAW to update the plug-in parameter list.

Some DAWs (e.g. Motu Digital Performer) require a full snapshot of the plug-in in order to list the parameters correctly.

Consult the DAW user manual to find out the procedure for a plug-in re-scan, this procedure may be necessary to perform in DAWs using the AU as well as the VST versions of our software.

All Flux:: plugins can be setup for batch processing using MrsWatson, a command-line audio plugin host supporting VST 2.x plugins.

  • First you need to create a user preset in the Flux:: plug-in preset manager (not the host preset manager) that you want to use for the batch processing, this can be done using your favorite audio host software.

  • In the Flux:: plug-in preset manager (not the host preset manager), navigate to the User preset tab, select the preset, then click “Set as default”.

  • Then close your audio host application.

How to setup a proper command line:

1 – Enter the mrswatson64 application path.
You can drag the application directly into the command or terminal window (then you don’t have to type the path manually).

Exemple in Windows:
     C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\MrsWatson\MrsWatson-0.9.7\Windows\mrswatson64.exe

Exemple in macOS:

     /Users/myusername/Desktop/MrsWatson-0.9.7Mac\ OS\ X/mrswatson64

2 – Indicate the Flux VST 64-bit install path

Exemple in Windows:

–plugin-root “c:\Program Files\Vstplugins\Flux\LevelMagic.vst\Contents\x64”

Exemple in macOS:

–plugin-root /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Flux

3 – Indicate the input file path for the file you want to process.

Exemple in Windows:

-i C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\myaudiofile.wav

Exemple in macOS:

-i /Users/myusername/Desktop/myaudiofile.wav

4 – Indicate the output file path for the processed file.

Exemple in Windows:

-o C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\out.wav

Exemple in macOS:

-o /Users/myusername/Desktop/out.wav

5 – Indicate the plugin(s) to be used.

Exemple in Windows:

-p LevelMagic

Exemple in macOS:

-p LevelMagic-x64

6 – In the end, the full command line will look like this:

Exemple in Windows :

C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\MrsWatson\MrsWatson-0.9.7\Windows\mrswatson64.exe –plugin-root “c:\Program Files\Vstplugins\Flux\LevelMagic.vst\Contents\x64” -i C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\myaudiofile.wav -o C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\out.wav -p LevelMagic

Exemple in macOS:

/Users/myusername/Desktop/MrsWatson-0.9.7Mac\ OS\ X/mrswatson64 –plugin-root /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Flux -i /Users/myusername/Desktop/myaudiofile.wav -o /Users/myusername/Desktop/out.wav -p LevelMagic-x64

7 – Type return key and wait for the processing to end.

Applies to: Alchemist, Solera and the Pure Series Dynamics Processors


The Dynamic Factor and Dynamic Velocity parameters will impact the detection of signal dynamics. These settings comes in handy when the signal to be processed has:

  • Too much dynamics – You can choose a value of the Dynamic Factor that is smaller than 1, to limit the ‘pumping’ effect of the compressor, as an example.
  • Too little dynamics – The threshold can become difficult to adjust, for an expander / gate, as an example, conversely, a value greater than 1 will be chosen.

The Dynamic Velocity will play on the speed of the detection and refine the setting.

These parameters work for all modes. and will be common to the 4 modules comp / dcomp / exp / dexp, and are intended when trying to solve certain special cases of dynamics.

How to setup IRCAM Tools HEar in 5.1 in Digital Performer.

  1. Create six mono audio tracks and one aux track.
  2. Set the outputs of each mono audio track to Bus 1-6, respectively.
  3. Set the input of the aux track to Bus 1-6.
  4. Set the output of the aux track to a 5.1 surround bundle where the first two outputs are the ones you are monitoring from (i.e. headphones)
  5. Insert the AU plugin on the aux track.

This setup will feed the outputs of each audio track into the plugin on the aux. The plugin will then output a stereo track, which is sent to the first two outputs of the surround output bundle.

To create a surround bundle (which you will need to do for bus 1-6 and your 5.1 output bundle) go to the Bundles window. Select the Outputs tab. Click the “add” button. This will create a new bundle. Select the dropdown menu in the ‘Model’ column to set the bundle to 5.1.

When the Phase section is enabled in EVO In and EVO Channel, a phase rotation is applied (using filters). This is fully normal behavior, as this puts the tracks in a different phase repository. That’s why, as stated in the user manual, the phase module must be enabled on all tracks that have been recorded at the same time with microphones.

EVO In User Manual – Phase Module


When Phase is enabled on one single track, it will indeed affect the sound – If applied on ALL tracks recorded at the same time with microphones, there will be no impact on the sound (when the phase knob is at 0°), which is the important thing here.

This way of processing phase, guarantees a perfect frequency linearity from 20Hz to 20KHz.
