A mix score is a single number from 0 to 100 that summarizes the overall technical quality of your mix. MixDiagnose calculates it by analyzing frequency balance, loudness, dynamics, stereo width, and genre fit — so you know exactly where you stand before mastering.

Your mix score is a weighted average of 5 sub-scores. Each sub-score is calculated by comparing your mix against ideal ranges derived from professional reference tracks and streaming platform standards.
8-band spectral analysis measuring whether your lows, low-mids, mids, and highs are in proportion. Catches muddy build-up, harsh highs, and thin low-end.
Integrated LUFS and true peak checked against Spotify (−14 LUFS), YouTube (−14 LUFS), Apple Music (−16 LUFS), and Tidal targets. Penalizes over- and under-loudness.
Crest factor and dynamic range to detect over-compression. A crushed mix loses punch and translates poorly across playback systems.
Stereo width and correlation analysis. Detects phase issues, mono-compatibility problems, and overly narrow or artificially widened imaging.
Compares your mix against 18 genre profiles. What's ideal for Pop isn't ideal for Jazz — this sub-score rewards genre-appropriate loudness, dynamics, and tonal balance.
Your mix is ready for mastering. Only minor tweaks remain. Send it with confidence.
Solid foundation with a few issues to address. Fix the Moderate items before mastering.
Moderate problems are dragging your score down. Address these before spending money on mastering.
Significant problems detected. Re-mixing is recommended — mastering won't fix these issues, it will amplify them.

Check Your Mix Score →A mix score is a single number from 0 to 100 that summarizes the overall technical quality of your audio mix. It is calculated by analyzing multiple parameters — frequency balance, loudness (LUFS), dynamic range, stereo width, and genre fit — and weighting each according to how much it impacts the final master. A higher score means your mix is closer to professional standards.
MixDiagnose analyzes your track across 5 weighted categories: frequency balance (30%), loudness compliance (25%), dynamic range (20%), stereo width (15%), and genre reference match (10%). Each category produces a sub-score from 0–100 based on how far your mix deviates from ideal ranges. The final mix score is the weighted sum of all sub-scores.
Scores of 85–100 are excellent — your mix is ready for mastering. Scores of 70–84 are good with minor issues to address. Scores of 50–69 indicate moderate problems that should be fixed before mastering. Scores below 50 mean critical issues are present and significant re-mixing is recommended.
Yes. MixDiagnose identifies every issue contributing to your score and grades it Critical, Moderate, Minor, or Ideal. Each issue comes with a specific one-click fix using real DSP processing. After applying fixes, you can re-check your mix to see the score improve.

Yes. The genre reference match category (10% of the score) compares your mix against ideal ranges for your selected genre. A track that scores well for Pop might score differently for Rock or Jazz because the target loudness, dynamics, and frequency balance differ by genre.
