NR Collaborative announces the official release of the RTAS version of MixControl Pro, our flagship mixing package. This update brings various minor graphical optimizations, as well as RTAS format support and a newly updated manual. MixControl Pro R5 also includes a new standalone licensing version of the software, which allows MixControl Pro to be registered outside of the hosting environment and avoids numerous system-specific hosting issues that arise.

MixControl Pro R5 is now available for the price of $129 USD, or $79 USD for returning customers. A new payment plan option for $39/month is also now available for those looking for an easier way to pay. Purchasing a license for MixControl Pro gives you access to both Macintosh (AU/VST/RTAS) and PC (VST/RTAS) platforms simultaneously.
