ARE YOU MIXING FOR YOUR STUDIO...OR FOR YOUR LISTENERS ?

Most music is played on everyday devices, not studio monitors. That's why translation is one of the most important parts of a great mix.

Mobile Check lets you instantly audition your mix through accurate simulations of popular iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, AirPods, Beats, and Sony headphones using convolution-based impulse responses inside Ableton Live.

Over 75% of the world listens to music exclusively on smartphones. 58.8% use earbuds, 16.5% use the built-in speaker, and 16.2% use headphones. If you aren't checking your translation against these consumer devices before you hit export, you're just relying on luck.

Meet Mobile Check

Mobile Check is a native Ableton Live Audio Effect Rack engineered strictly for mix auditing and master translation.

Instead of using sloppy EQ approximations, this rack utilizes Ableton's native Convolution engine loaded with legitimate laboratory Impulse Responses (IRs). Turning any of the 10 custom macro knobs instantly imprints the exact frequency attenuation and stereo width boundaries of that specific hardware.

Inside the Rack Architecture:

Convolution Core: Real phase responses and frequency signatures captured via analytical laboratory sweeps.
Intelligent Auto-Width: Each device narrows or locks the stereo field natively (from 0% to 100%) to mirror actual speaker placement.
Output Safety Limiter: A transparent brickwall ceiling at the end of the chain protects your ears and monitors from clipping.

The 10 Target Reference Grid

⚪ The iOS Ecosystem (Apple Speakers)

iPhone 17, 16: Flagship hardware reference. Audits computational spatial audio and aggressive upper-mid sibilance.
iPhone 15: High-circulation standard to check transient response and low-mid loss.

🔵 The Android Landscape (Samsung Speakers)

Galaxy S26: Premium Android benchmark.
Galaxy A17: Mid-tier smartphone with heavily restricted vocal-range bandwidth.
Galaxy A07: The Ultimate Mono & Phase Audit. Top engineers tell you to check your mix in Mono, and this button locks your width to 0% (Absolute Mono), while other models drop it to a narrow 15%. If your vocals or low-end cancel out due to phase issues, you will catch it here instantly.

🔴 Ear-wear & Over-Ears (Consumer Earbuds & Headphones)

AirPods 4: Standard open-ear buds. Mandatory to see if your bass holds up without any physical ear isolation.
AirPods Pro 2: Selected in Transparency Mode to simulate that exact, slightly hyped sub-bass presence common in everyday consumer habits.
Galaxy Buds 2: The standard Android intra-auricular target with scooped mids and aggressive high frequencies.
Beats Studio Pro: Closed-back over-ear reference for commercial, bass-heavy modern consumer tuning.
Sony WH1000XM5: The industry-standard noise-canceling profile. Crucial to check for low-end mud and frequency masking.

Why Convolution Crushes Static EQ Approximations

Faking a hardware device by slapping a basic graphic EQ on your Master is a lazy compromise. Tiny phone speakers and plastic earbud drivers don't just cut frequencies—they alter phase alignment, limit dynamic headroom, and squash spatial separation.

Mobile Check handles the acoustic heavy lifting through true Convolution. Ableton's engine processes the lab-grade impulse response and imprints the exact physical phase behavior and pressure of the target hardware onto your track. You make instant, accurate surgical decisions in seconds.

Compatibility: Ableton Live Suite (12.4.2 or newer)
