It's no big secret: creating a great mix is easier in a perfect mix room.

Relying on Dear Reality's outstanding virtual acoustics engine, dearVR MIX creates ultra-realistic environments without any drawbacks known from the physical world.

Dear Reality's Spatial Headphone Compensation technology (SHC) ensures the best binaural playback experience with the highest degree of out-of-head-localization by compensating the individual sound characteristics of different headphones.

Ultimate Mixing Environment

dearVR MIX turns your favorite studio headphones into an ultimate mixing environment, offering three carefully designed virtual reference rooms.

Choose between four loudspeakers positions and confidently know that your mix translates reliably to other sound systems and environments. Placing yourself in the sweet spot, dearVR MIX helps you to assess positions, stereo-width, reverb & low-end frequencies fast and with greater ease.

Spatial Headphone Compensation

Activate the built-in Headphone Compensation (SHC) and start making solid mixes with an accuracy that you won't find anywhere else. Compensating for the characteristics of individual headphone models, Dear Reality's SHC applies the optimal adjustments to support a model-independent accurate simulation of listening environments.

Dear Reality's unique technology currently supports the 50 most used professional studio headphones. Each model has been carefully optimized by the Dear Reality team.

Adaptable Room Acoustics

The perfect mix room is the one that feels natural and comfortable to you. With dearVR MIX, you can quickly adapt the virtual mix room to your taste using the AMBIENCE and the FOCUS parameter.

While AMBIENCE allows you to control the amount of diffusion in your virtual room, FOCUS allows you to select the perfect balance between overall coloration and localization based on the patented Clarity algorithm from Sennheiser AMBEO.

6 Realistic Listening Environments

Stop spending hours double-checking how your mix translates into common listening scenarios. dearVR MIX puts you just a few clicks away from accurately monitoring your mix in six acoustic environments, all without leaving your workstation.
