Half the mixes that land in your inbox aren't ready for mastering. MixDiagnose gives you an objective pre-mastering diagnosis you can stand behind — and a report you can hand to the client so they understand why.

The friction every mastering engineer deals with — and why it eats your margin.
A new client sends a mix that's 6 dB too hot, has a hole in the low-mids, and clips the master bus. You can master it — but it won't sound right, and they'll blame you. You spend the first hour just figuring out what's wrong.
You didn't sign up to EQ the bass and de-ess the vocals — that's the mixer's job. But the deadline's Friday and the client won't remix. So you patch it in the master, eat the time, and quietly lower your effective hourly rate.
"It sounds fine to me, can't you just make it louder?" You explain that the low end is unbalanced, but they don't have the vocabulary or the tools to verify it. So they push back, delay the project, or go to a cheaper engineer who'll just slam it through a limiter.
You listen, take notes, draft an email, listen again, revise the notes. That's 30–60 minutes of unbillable triage on every incoming mix — time you'd rather spend on the masters that actually pay.
One upload. Objective diagnosis. A report your client can actually understand.
MixDiagnose measures frequency balance, loudness, true peak, and dynamics — and flags what's outside acceptable ranges before you touch a plugin. No more "it sounds off to me" — you get numbers you can quote in the client email.
A clean, visual report that shows the client exactly where their mix is thin, muddy, or harsh — without you having to explain it over email. "Here's the diagnosis" closes the conversation faster than "trust me, it needs work."
Integrated LUFS, true peak, loudness range, and dynamic spread — all from a single file. Stop bouncing between three tools to confirm a mix is delivery-ready. One report, one read.
Send diagnosis reports under your studio's logo and brand colors. The client sees your business — not ours. It looks like your tool, built into your workflow, on the Studio plan.
Built for the triage step you do on every incoming mix — faster, objective, and client-facing.
Upload the client's mix, get a full diagnostic before you even open your mastering session. Decide go / no-go in seconds, not a listening pass.
Hip-hop, rock, electronic, acoustic — MixDiagnose compares the incoming mix against genre-appropriate references so the diagnosis matches the delivery spec.
Client claims they fixed it? Re-upload and MixDiagnose shows the spectral diff so you can verify the change without re-listening to the whole track.
Send a client a link to the full report instead of typing out notes. They see the same numbers you do — which makes "please fix the low end" a lot harder to argue with.
Streaming loudness targets, true-peak ceilings, and loudness range — all checked against the platform the client is delivering to. Catch a -1 dBTP violation before the master, not after.
Run your first client mix through MixDiagnose without signing up. If it saves you one triage hour, upgrade to Studio for white-label reports and batch processing.
The next client mix that lands in your inbox deserves an objective diagnosis before you spend an hour on it. Upload it, get the numbers, and send the report — all in the time it takes to make coffee.
