2025年1月25日,FLUX发布了新一代的音频信号分析软件,MiRA系列。这个系列将接替之前命名不详的多种分析套装,以MiRA Session,MiRA Live,MiRA Studio三个版本来区分,并以Ultimate版作为三个套装的整合版。
Experience MiRA the brightest star in the audio analysis universe
MiRA is a direct evolution of the acclaimed FLUX:: Analyzer software family. and includes an extensive suite of tools for diverse audio analysis and measurement applications, including mixing and mastering, system calibration, and loudness metering.

工作室之前的版本是Studio Session Analyzer,属于Session,也就是最初级的立体声版本,这次可以免费升级到MiRA相对应的Session版本(但郁闷的是,我在知道MiRA发布时,就第一时间在账号内付费升级了,直到最后才知道2024年用户都是可以免费升级的)。好在升级费用不高,18美元,这点不算大事。
要升级到MiRA,就必须再次使用FLUX的麻烦的安装软件FLUX Center,这个软件我在之前介绍FLUX Studio Session时就有提到,一是要确定文件夹和路径的权限及属性,二是要关闭VPN以确保网页登录与APP激活的网络统一。

握手成功后,就可以在FLUX Center界面中看到自己所拥有的软件了,除了已经成为Legacy遗产的Studio Session外,升级后的MiRA和一个MiRA SampleGrabber也出现了。SampleGrabber采样抓取器,是一个以插件形式可插入到DAW中捕获音频数据,并通过网络方式发送到异地的MiRA以实现远程音频分析的VST3插件,它并不是新的产品,我在以前的FLUX产品中也看到过这款插件,不过对于我这种本地工作室用处不大。

和之前一样,附赠的两个插件BitterSweet和StereoTool我没有选择安装,只安装MiRA和SampleGrabber。接着是漫长的下载过程。

安装完成后,我选择将MiRA的图标吸附到开始界面中,可以看到MiRA的图标是更加时尚一点的蓝色,图标中的频谱也更加符合音频软件的主题,而上方的Studio Session图标粗一看很难标识其用途。

点击MiRA图标运行后,会出现iLok激活过程。一步步继续即可。

激活成功后,欢迎界面就是这个操作大型Console的宇航员。这种油乎乎的AI制图让我总觉得哪里不对劲。软件快速扫描后,就进入了全新的MiRA Session界面。

老实说,我看不出来和之前的Studio Session有何区别。不过MiRA多了一个调节,即可以修改Global背景色。默认的MiRA是上图这种渐变色,有着浓郁的90年代画风。但我可以将它修改为更低调沉稳的固定色。

不过我也并未对这类信号分析软件有过多不切实际的要求,我的Session版本本来也只是初级的立体声版本,主要用来分析主流音乐频谱和辅助判断监听,顺便观察响度。有这部分作用我就满足了。加上现在还有RME免费版本的DigiCheck NG,小巧的MiniMeters等,可以说信号观测和分析这方面我的储备是相当充分的了。
购买凭证
由于我在收到MiRA新闻的第一时间就去官网查看了,在我的账户里看到升级到MiRA是要付费的,这导致我还花费了一笔不小的巨资,18美元。结果后来我才看到FLUX说会在后续几天更新免费升级事宜。这算是我心急吃不到便宜豆腐的代价吧(我应该也可以向FLUX申请退款吧)
