MIXPrep free trial coming soon

Another EQ won’t fix your session. So I built what will.

Get back the first 60 to 90 minutes of every mix. Drop in the client’s folder and MIXPrep names, sorts and gain-stages every track for any DAW, so you open a session that’s ready to mix before you hear a note. The free trial is coming soon. Be the first to know.
