mixBase is version control for your music. Every time you bounce a mix, upload it: mixBase keeps every version of every track, from the first rough to the final master, so you can hear how far a song has come and never lose a good take again. TRACK EVERY VERSION Each upload becomes the next numbered mix of its project. Label it (rough mix, mix 2, final master), move it from Mix to Master to Released, add private notes and a change log, and jump back to any earlier version at any time. LISTEN ANYWHERE A full-screen player with artwork, scrubbing, a queue, shuffle and repeat, lock-screen and Control Center controls, AirPlay, and a Now Playing widget for your home screen. SHARE FOR FEEDBACK Send a private listening link for any mix. Collaborators open it in a browser, no account required, and leave comments pinned to the exact moment they mean. Their notes show up on that mix in the app. MASTER CHECK Measure the loudness of your latest mix (LUFS and peak) right on your phone and get limiter and chain recommendations before you send it off. RUN YOUR RELEASE PIPELINE Add a release and check off every milestone: mixing done, mastering done, artwork ready, submitted to DSPs, social posts out, press release sent. Keep your released catalog, with ISRC, UPC and release dates, in one library synced from your streaming profile. AI COVER ART Describe the vibe and generate cover-art concepts for a track, then apply the one that fits. Every account includes a monthly allowance. HEAR WHAT OTHERS ARE MAKING The community feed shows what other artists on mixBase are working on, with comments on every upload. Report or block anything you don't want to see. BUILT FOR THE STUDIO - Genre, BPM and key on every project - Albums, EPs and playlists to group your tracks - A dark interface that won't blind you in a dim room mixBase is free. There are no subscriptions, paid plans or in-app purchases.
