What is Space Replicator Free?
Space Replicator Free is a free virtual monitoring tool from LEWITT, the Austrian microphone maker, designed for mixing on headphones. It runs as a plugin in a DAW and also as a standalone application.
It works by recreating captured real rooms and playback systems as virtual acoustic spaces over headphones. Headphone compensation is applied at the same time, so the sound is nudged toward a mixing-oriented response.
The free edition offers three playback environments: LEWITT Studio A, a living room setup, and H-Pods Pro in-ear headphones. More than 800 headphone compensation profiles are available, so you can match the tool to the headphones you own.
The paid Space Replicator adds more studios, translation spaces and live venues. The free edition uses the same approach and is a way to try it first.
Virtual monitoring spaces
Recreates captured real rooms and playback systems over headphones. It may help when you cannot use speakers or your room acoustics are a concern.
800+ headphone profiles
Pick your headphone model from the list and its frequency response is compensated, so you can check a mix with the model's own tendencies reduced.
Phone and laptop checks
Lets you hear how a mix may translate on phone and laptop speakers while staying on headphones, which can be handy as a last check before export.
H-Pods Pro earbud simulation
Includes a simulation of in-ear listening through H-Pods Pro, which could be a reference when your audience mostly listens on earbuds.
Plugin and standalone
Available as VST3, AAX and AU plugins plus a standalone application for music and video playback, so finished tracks can be checked without opening a DAW.

Headphone mixing at home

Good to know before you buy
