Mastering The Mix has released Mixvault, a new plugin for macOS and Windows.
Mixvault analyzes your audio, helps you find a great tonal balance, then lets you shape it by feel, with every move level matched. Pull a frequency closer to bring it forward, push it away to pull it back, and build mixes that sound clearer, fuller, and more balanced, without any transient or phase smearing.
Mixvault works on individual tracks, busses, and the master. Four Resolution options set how many bands you get, from wide and sweeping to tight and surgical, so the same EQ handles a quick vocal tilt and a careful mastering move without ever changing how it sounds.
The visual is designed to be something you can reach out and grab. Pull a frequency towards you to make it louder, push it away to make it quieter, and the whole room expands and contracts as you work. Scroll to adjust the Q. You don’t just hear your changes, you watch your sound take shape. Mastering The Mix says it’s the first EQ that feels less like a tool and more like an instrument.
Hit Analyze, pick your source (mix, vocals, bass, drums, or music) and genre, and Mixvault builds a preset from your actual audio, not a stored curve. Step through the arrows to explore alternatives, each labelled by character from bass heavy and dark through to bright and piercing. Mastering The Mix says you’ll usually know within four or five clicks.
Humans hear louder as better, so any EQ move that nudges the level fools you into thinking you improved the sound. Mixvault level matches every move in real time. Audition presets, bypass to compare, push a band, and you’re always hearing the true tonal change and nothing else.
Mastering The Mix says Mixvault default filters delivers the exact frequency response of a market-leading linear-phase EQ, at its maximum setting – with 36x less latency.
Your ears adjust to whatever you’ve been listening to, which is why a mix can sound better after an hour and wrong the next morning. Import a professional release you trust, analyze, and Mixvault shows you the moves that get your track into the same pocket. Correctly level matched, so you’re hearing tone and not just a louder record.
As your audio plays, a live delta visual paints onto the sides of the room, so you can see exactly how your EQ is shaping the signal while you work. Hit D to hear it too, soloing the difference between dry and wet so you know precisely what you’re adding and taking away.
The Hz strips run down both walls of the room. Scroll over a strip to zoom in on the part of the spectrum you care about, or back out for the full picture. Hold Shift while you drag for fine gain, or double-click any dB readout to type an exact value.
