01Overview

MIXVAULT is built around shaping tone by feel. Its 3D interface lets you pull a frequency toward you to boost it and push it away to cut it, while the room adjusts to give you perspective. Hit Analyze and the plugin builds a Smart Preset from your audio, based on the source you select, such as the mix, vocals, bass, drums or music, and the genre. The developer says the bands are fixed and phase-stable, so boosts and cuts aim to keep transients sharp and the low end tight.

Sound Shaping and Level-Matched Monitoring

MIXVAULT uses a level-matched workflow. Every move is loudness-matched in real time, so you judge the tonal change itself rather than the difference in volume. Mastering The Mix describes its fixed, phase-stable bands as keeping boosts and cuts clean.

The live delta visual shows how the EQ shapes the signal as it plays, which makes it easier to see where your adjustments are working. Zoomable Hertz strips let you scroll into any part of the spectrum, and you can type an exact dB value when you need fine control.

Bass Mode, Resolutions and Reference Tracks

Bass mode focuses on low-end filtering, with five bands covering 20 to 320 Hz. The developer says it aims to add weight to bass without going soft, and that the filters minimize phase and transient distortion so the kick still hits.

Four resolution modes (Broad, Balanced, Detailed and Bass) let you change the band layout at any time without losing your work. Reference track import lets you load a track you trust and shape your mix toward its tonal balance.

How do Smart Presets work?
