Mix Master-personalized audio mixing advice.

Example

A user working on a rock track may have trouble making the guitars cut through the mix while keeping the vocals clear. Mix Master would suggest using mid-side EQ to boost the guitar presence in the side channels while maintaining vocal clarity in the center. Additionally, it would recommend compression techniques for achieving punchier drum sounds without drowning out other elements.

Scenario

Real-world scenarios include live mixing for concerts where engineers need to adjust EQ and compression on the fly or home studio environments where bedroom producers work on perfecting their mixes for streaming platforms.

Example

For a pop track, the user might be unsure how to set up the master chain to maintain the loudness while avoiding over-compression. Mix Master would recommend plugins like a transparent limiter, multiband compressor, and stereo widening tools, all while maintaining dynamic range and preventing distortion. It could also provide insight into the optimal plugin order to achieve a cleaner, louder mix.

Scenario

In this context, users working with different DAWs like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or Pro Tools could be provided with specific plugin recommendations or routing techniques to get the most out of their mastering chain.

Example

When mixing an electronic dance music (EDM) track, the user may struggle to get the kick drum to cut through a dense bassline. Mix Master would advise sidechaining the bass to the kick, recommend certain transient shaping techniques, or suggest EQ strategies that emphasize the high-mid frequencies of the kick.

Scenario

This function is particularly useful for users working across multiple genres, whether they are in EDM, jazz, or classical music production. For example, in jazz, the need for dynamic range and clarity in acoustic instruments would demand a different approach compared to EDM, which prioritizes impact and loudness.
