What say ye???? Have you guys heard about this piece of outboard gear???

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

Logic gang, Reason gang, Studio One gang, I see every one of your comments. You thought I forgot about you. This is what this week looked like. That's all I'm gonna say for now.

Tore the entire studio down to the studs. Every cable out. Every piece of gear on the floor. 60 wires that had no business being in the signal path — gone. Then rebuilt the whole room from zero: every patch point verified, every unit exactly where the workflow wants it, the recall system dead center where it belongs. First time in the history of this room that ALL the gear has been on at once and the room just... handles it. Cold, quiet, everything green. Here's the lesson in it, because there always is one: your signal chain is only as honest as its worst connection. I've been preaching gain staging and clean signal path in here for months — and then I opened up my own walls and found 60 wires of "I'll fix it later." You can't hear a bad patch bay in one session. You hear it over a hundred sessions, as mixes that almost translate, gear that almost sounds like it should, little gremlins you learned to mix around without knowing it. So before I hand anybody anything — before the next MIXSTEIN move, before the next mix leaves this room — the room itself had to pass the same bar as everything I ship: undeniable or nothing. Photos below. The room MIXSTEIN gets built in now looks like what it's building. Question for you: what's the "I'll fix it later" in YOUR setup right now — the thing you've learned to work around instead of fixing? Drop it below. Naming it is half of fixing it.

@TouchTone Dsg I just finished a recording session with a client of mine and am about to get into the mix. I'm wondering, would Mixstien be able to get into the more tedious tasks like vocal editing? The comping, clip gaining the vocals, adding fades where need be etc...I ask because in and as much as gain staging is a bore of a job, I believe that vocal editing is also pretty high up there when prepping a session for mixing.
