Toontrack EZ Mix 2 is a preset based channel strip. While imitating several FXes, only one or two parameters are manually controllable. The rest is defined by preset developers. The plug-in itself and presets packs can be found on https://www.toontrack.com/product/ezmix-2/
There is a demo version. It works 15 minutes in session and does not support saving the state. But it can be immediately re-inserted after deletion.
Functionality coverage
Complete.
Operations
For demo mode:
* you will get "Session will expire" at the beginning, tab to close button and press Enter
* after 15 minutes Sibiac will announce Demo expiration. You can not close it by escape, but Alt+F4 works.
For expected by developers result, input signal should be properly leveled. Sibiac overlay does not provide access to the input level control of the plug-in. You can level using OSARA parameters dialog, but better level on REAPER level before inserting the plug-in.
