Here's how it works. Tonight I found two bugs I'd never want a founder to hit. One: MIXSTEIN forgot the fights it had already found the second the engine restarted. Two: it was quoting a distortion number on a full mix that only means something on a single tone. Both fixed tonight, and the build is rebuilt. That's the bar. It survives a restart on your machine before it ever gets to you. So here's the move. Four people, hands-on with me. You get it running on your machine on a call with me, dialed to your music. Your founding price locks for life: Essentials $29, Pro $59, Studio $149 a month. Founders keep getting feels and updates the rest of the room never sees. Who I'm picking: you mix for real, in Ableton Live Suite, on an Apple Silicon Mac. That's wave one. Logic, Studio One, PC: you're wave two, and I'll tell you when that's real, not before. How: comment FOUNDER or DM me. Already DM'd me? You're in the pool, no need to do it twice. I pick the four this week and message each of you directly. Nothing to pay to raise your hand. No date on delivery, same as always. Undeniable, not early. First thing you'd put it on: the mix bus, the vocal, or the low end? — DSG

Hey guys, I am wondering are you mixing with headphones or with monitors? I do that with headphones, but when I go to a studio its always sound better. Unfortunately its so expensive and at my apartment I cannot mix loud so I need to use my headphones. Is that even possible to mix just with headphones?

This is where we are right now. The end for testing individually is coming to an end very rapidly. Up next, I think you all know.

How does Mixstein actually talk to Claude? Does it call tools?

For months you've watched me build MIXSTEIN in front of you — an AI that doesn't just talk about your mix, it opens Ableton and makes the moves. Real devices. Real settings. On your session, not in some cloud demo. Last week I watched it read a record against a J Dilla instrumental, tell me exactly where the mids were lying, and prescribe the moves — and when it had nothing worth fixing, it said nothing. That's the part that took the longest to build: a tool with restraint. Tools that make moves are everywhere. Tools that know when NOT to are not. Here's where it stands: MIXSTEIN is going out very, very soon — but not wide. First it goes into the hands of a small group of creators while I'm personally on the line with each of them. They stress it, break it, shape it. Then it expands from there. Then the real thing arrives for everybody else — and by then it'll have been battle-tested by people who actually mix. If you've been waiting for the moment to pay attention, this is it. Question for the room: if MIXSTEIN could take ONE thing off your plate the first time you open it — what would you pick? Answers here genuinely shape what the first group gets.
