Mix audio tracks fully automated with AI

- By Laura Emiliano

In the world of mastering, AI-supported work is now part and parcel for many. Here, in particular, LandR, iZotope Ozone and the like have made profession­al-sounding masters possible for many hobby producers. In mixing, there was already an approach in place with Neutron from iZotope, but a lot still had to be done by hand. RoEx Audio promises almost completely automatic Mixing.

We live in exciting times when it comes to music and AI. How does artificial intelligen­ce help Musicians and Producers in their day-to-day work? Which tools will fundamenta­lly change the way we work and produce? At RoEx Audio, you upload the stems of your production and get back a ready-mixed track!

Roex Audio, Unchained, what‘s it all about?

Unchained is a digital distributo­r like Distrokid. And for the auto-mixing technology, the company has teamed up with the start-up, RoEx Audio. The idea: you upload the stems of your finished track and the Unchained engine automatica­lly mixes the whole thing. After uploading, you can set the „Importance“in the mix, the Panning Position and the amount of Reverb for each instrument group.

There are also nine different genres to choose from for the mixing style, depending on whether you‘re into Pop, Rock or Hip Hop, for example. There are no detailed settings for EQ, compressio­n or other effects, as offered by competitor­s like Cryo Mix. However, Cryo Mix only allows you to upload one instrument­al and vocals.

AI Mixing – Who needs that?

I could fill books with the complaints and worries of many of my producer friends when it comes to mixing. And I could build entire neighborho­ods out of the stones that fall from the hearts of the music makers in my circle of friends when they no longer have to mix themselves. There‘s a reason why there are so many tutorials and so many plug-ins for almost every topic.

Even if I am firmly convinced that the dog is often buried in the song and arrangemen­t and not in the mix, Mixing is undoubtedl­y one of the most important production steps, especially in Electronic Music. And to have the work done for you by a tool like this... If it sounds good, nobody will ask!
