Mixing Made Easy
For You
Whether you’re new to mixing or a seasoned pro, Virtual Mix Rack is the indispensable tool for achieving superior mixes. You can start by loading preset chains from our specially curated library or assemble your own custom chains through the intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Once you find or create your favorites, you can save them as Dream Strips so they’re just one click away.

Effortless Preset Exploration
Get the fast results you want using VMR’s new Discovery Preset Browser. Pulled from an online library of presets, this ever-growing collection can be quickly searched and filtered by instrument type, genre, author, and more. Scroll the available presets and get an immediate overview of the modules in the chain and the author’s intended use.

Precision at Every Turn
The new VMR 3 presets include pre-mapped Macro Controls which give you immediate control over the chain. Each knob is purpose-named to give you a clear description on what it does so you don’t have to experiment with all the knobs in the chain. You can also create Macro Controls to super-power your own chains.



Complete Side-Chain Control
Virtual Mix Rack integrates completely with your DAW by supporting external side-chain input. Control VMR’s dynamics processors from other channels in your project to create the perfect harmony between instruments…even with devices that never had side-chain inputs of their own.
