Purchased the AI add-on?
MIXPrep AI features (MIXRef, SonicLens, MixBrief) are built into the same app — no separate download needed. Just activate with your purchase email and your AI features unlock automatically.
First time opening on Windows?
Click "More info" then "Run anyway" on the SmartScreen dialog. MIXPrep runs entirely on your machine — nothing is sent to the cloud. One time only.
Windows Beta Note
The Windows version is fully functional but still in early beta. If you hit any issues, just reply to your purchase confirmation email and I'll get you sorted. Mac is the primary platform and rock solid.
Coming Soon
PhaseSync
Automatic phase alignment for multi-mic'd instruments. Part of MIXPrep Pro — free for all current Core and AI owners.
