I told you the Board Room gets it before anybody. Here it is. It goes on my socials after you've had it. The MIXSTEIN beta is open to anyone who qualifies. It's free while it's a beta. And you don't need a call with me to get it running. There's an install page with a video I recorded on a clean Mac, start to finish. About ten minutes. Who qualifies right now: Ableton Live Suite, or Standard with Max for Live, on an Apple Silicon Mac. That's wave one, and you can have it today. Logic, Studio One, Pro Tools, PC, Intel: you're wave two. Lock your spot anyway and you hear first. Nothing to pay either way. What you're stepping into: put it on the mix bus and it reads the whole session. Not the words you typed. The session. It names what's fighting, with the numbers, tells you why, and makes the move in Ableton's own devices on your track. Then it goes after the vocal the way my hand does. 37 cuts on one take, and it found 16 of my 18 within milliseconds. On price: I'm a new company and this isn't a premier product yet, so I'm not charging like one. Founding members lock a spot now and keep that price for life. Nothing is charged while it's a beta. The number's on the site. If you locked earlier, you got the new one. How you get it: go to mixstein.com and lock your tier. Your download link comes with it. It's yours and it works three times, so a bad download or a second Mac is covered. Each beta build runs 30 days, then you grab the next one. Still free. Install questions go in the pinned thread so every answer helps the next person. No date on the real release. Undeniable, not early. What's the first fight you think it'll find in your mix? — DSG

Ableton Live Suite, on an Apple Silicon Mac, and you mix for real. That's wave one. If that's not your setup, you're wave two, I'll come get you when it's real, and nothing to pay either way. What the build learned this week, so you know what you're stepping into: I cut 37 pops and esses by hand on one vocal. It found 16 of my 18 within milliseconds, and it now pulls each one to the level of the words around it, the way my hand does. That's the bar. It has to match my hand before it ever touches yours. The two seats: you get it running on your machine on a call with me, dialed to your music. Founding price locks for life, $29 / $59 / $149 a month. Nothing paid until it's delivered and running. To raise your hand, comment three things: your DAW, what About This Mac says (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4 or Intel), and Suite or Standard with Max. That's it. I DM the ones that fit. No date. Undeniable, not early. And tell me the one thing in your mix you'd hand it first. — DSG

Here's how it works. Tonight I found two bugs I'd never want a founder to hit. One: MIXSTEIN forgot the fights it had already found the second the engine restarted. Two: it was quoting a distortion number on a full mix that only means something on a single tone. Both fixed tonight, and the build is rebuilt. That's the bar. It survives a restart on your machine before it ever gets to you. So here's the move. Four people, hands-on with me. You get it running on your machine on a call with me, dialed to your music. Your founding price locks for life: Essentials $29, Pro $59, Studio $149 a month. Founders keep getting feels and updates the rest of the room never sees. Who I'm picking: you mix for real, in Ableton Live Suite, on an Apple Silicon Mac. That's wave one. Logic, Studio One, PC: you're wave two, and I'll tell you when that's real, not before. How: comment FOUNDER or DM me. Already DM'd me? You're in the pool, no need to do it twice. I pick the four this week and message each of you directly. Nothing to pay to raise your hand. No date on delivery, same as always. Undeniable, not early. First thing you'd put it on: the mix bus, the vocal, or the low end? — DSG

I've been working on my album for about a year now, and finally I'm starting to get the mixes to where I need them to be. I'm doing the production, and engineering and the mixing all by myself with the addition of a buddy coming into play guitar or keys here and there lol... Like I said, I'm still mixing the project but I'd like yall to let me know what you think of the music...

For months you've watched me build MIXSTEIN in front of you — an AI that doesn't just talk about your mix, it opens Ableton and makes the moves. Real devices. Real settings. On your session, not in some cloud demo. Last week I watched it read a record against a J Dilla instrumental, tell me exactly where the mids were lying, and prescribe the moves — and when it had nothing worth fixing, it said nothing. That's the part that took the longest to build: a tool with restraint. Tools that make moves are everywhere. Tools that know when NOT to are not. Here's where it stands: MIXSTEIN is going out very, very soon — but not wide. First it goes into the hands of a small group of creators while I'm personally on the line with each of them. They stress it, break it, shape it. Then it expands from there. Then the real thing arrives for everybody else — and by then it'll have been battle-tested by people who actually mix. If you've been waiting for the moment to pay attention, this is it. Question for the room: if MIXSTEIN could take ONE thing off your plate the first time you open it — what would you pick? Answers here genuinely shape what the first group gets.
