To me, based on this video, dearVR Monitor sounds quite a bit better. NX sounds like an effect, and really seems to muffle the sounds together - was really noticeable at 14:51 in this vid, where the overall mix just got destroyed when NX was turned on. It felt like it would be more fatiguing as well. Monitor was more subtle, but it felt more natural, and the mix stayed pretty consistent - eg. at 15:41, where enabling Monitor just made the song move out of my ears and into the room.
They both serve different purposes at the root. DearVR gives you unique spaces where you control ambience and clarity very accurately, while NX models space to gauge translation to speaker systems only. They both sound different. VR can do NX but not the other way around.
Yes, on paper, but I tested Waves NX and the head tracker was not good at all. Not only was it laggy but also exhibited drift even with whilst using both the camera and BT. There were other niggles that prompted me to return the product. I have not tried dearVR's take on this but it's good to have options.
Waves NX is fundamentally better, each person has a different distance between the ears, my ears are ~19.5cm apart, so the audio that comes to one ear takes ~0.28ms more to reach the other. This delay is our main cue to know which direction the sound came. My measurements are 59.5 head circumference + 30.7 ear semi circle, with this NX adds a 0.2770ms delay between the ears, the best possible delay due to 48khz sample rate. DearVR has no way to customize the delay, so it is fundamentally worse, and although NX is not completely colorless, DearVR messes much more with the tonality.
To me, NX sounded way better. Doesn't have _less_ features, just _different_ . Hard to say which are most useful. I'd go with NX and use $220 for some environment simulator (Audified MixChecker). Monitor has yet to mature imho. Best would be NX with those tasty speaker configs and ambiences.
Hey guyz I really have a doubt regarding pluggin alliance monitor. I downloaded a trial version and put it in the master bus in my studio one session but I get only mono and stereo options. I don't get any surround formats. I see them darkened and I can't select them. Can anyone help me with this problem please ???
If you put it on a Stereo master you won't get the surround options. You have to put it on a Surround master track to get the surround options. All covered in the dearVR MONITOR video ua-cam.com/video/-_wm8KL58BE/v-deo.html
FYI, newer versions of dearVR Monitor added headphone EQ correction, with 45 models of headphones supported (far more than NX).
Yes, it's great that they added those. I wish UA-cam had an online video editor where you could add new sections to existing videos.
I use Plugin Alliance dearVR MONITOR, is very good for now.

Man, I use NX but the DR sounds good too!

also test them both and 2 more famous plugins , definitely WAVES NX because of head trekking and sound

I definitely prefer dearVR MONITOR, which isn't a product of Plugin Alliance, but Dear Reality btw.

Try Realiphones too. Good!!

@@BenoniStudio Thanks a lot Brother...❤
Can you control automation panning in 5.0 - 13.0? Or does the dearVR/NX plugins just provide spaces and speakers?
the one that doesn't cost as much
If you have the MEGA Bundle MONITOR is included. NX is usually $29, but then there is WUP to think about after a year...
@@BenoniStudio true, but I am litterally broke and im also not really that old of a person, so i can't make money yet
If you could only get ONE, which would you choose? Waves NX, or Plugin Alliance dearVR MONITOR?
I fot Abbey Roads Studio 3 way better then both.
@@yaBoyRome i kinda agree
Dear VR
