Built for every stage of the session

Chain Architect

Describe your vision — genre, reference artists, loudness target, density. Get a starting bus chain with exact parameters, gain staging math, and plugin order rationale.

Mix BusMasteringCatch-All

Diagnostic Consultant

Describe what you hear — muddy, harsh, won't sit, no punch. Get a diagnosis, the frequency/dynamic math behind it, and a fix sequence that doesn't require starting over.

FrequencyDynamicsMasking

Cross-Plugin Analyst

Understand exactly how two plugins interact — gain staging between stages, harmonic stacking, compressor pre-conditioning. Know the math before you hear it.

Workflow

Not a chatbot. A consultant.

Give it the context. Get specific, mathematically-grounded guidance. Every parameter justified.

01

Set the Vision

Tell it the genre, reference artists, track density, and loudness target. Or start with a sonic problem you need solved.

02

Get the Architecture

Receive a complete bus chain or diagnostic fix — with exact plugin settings, gain staging numbers, and the physics behind each decision.

03

Iterate as You Mix

As the session evolves, consult in real time. Adjust to taste with full knowledge of what each change does to the signal mathematically.
