Why MixEngine AI
Built different from every other mixing plugin
100% Local AI
Ollama runs on your machine. Your audio never touches the cloud. Total privacy, zero latency dependency.
Sees Your Entire Mix
Plugin on every track reports to a local server. The AI knows what every instrument is doing — not just one track.
Smart Hardware Detection
Automatically detects your GPU and RAM, then selects the best AI model for your system. No configuration needed.
Learns From You
Rate AI suggestions with stars. Your feedback trains the system to match your mixing style over time.
Uses YOUR Plugins
Host your own VST3 plugins inside the effect chain. MixEngine AI suggests — your plugins do the processing.
24 Genre Profiles
Each genre has specific target LUFS, dynamic range, EQ curves, and compression rules. The AI adapts to your genre.
How It Works
Three components working together
1
Plugin on Each Track
Place MixEngine AI as a VST3/AU plugin on every track. Each instance analyzes audio and reports to the local server.
2
Local Server Orchestrates
A Python/FastAPI server aggregates all track data, builds mix context, and communicates with Ollama for AI inference.
3
AI Generates Recommendations
The LLM analyzes the full mix and returns structured suggestions: gain, EQ, compression, panning, sends, and bus assignments.

FAQ
Domande Frequenti
MixEngine AI is a VST3/AU plugin for digital audio workstations that uses local AI (Ollama) to analyze and optimize your mixes in real time. It includes 24 genre profiles, smart hardware detection, and operates entirely on your computer without sending data to the cloud.
MixEngine AI is powered by Ollama, an AI model runtime that runs entirely on your machine. When you start the plugin, the model is loaded into memory and analyzes the audio stream in real time. No internet connection is needed for audio processing. You need a computer with at least 8 GB of RAM and a modern multi-core CPU.
MixEngine AI is compatible with any DAW that supports the VST3 format on Windows. This includes Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Logic Pro (via AU on macOS, coming soon), Bitwig Studio, and many others. macOS and Linux support is under development.
The Free version includes basic audio analysis with 5 genre profiles and is perfect for trying out the plugin. The Pro version (€79, one-time payment) unlocks all 24 genre profiles, advanced analysis, smart hardware detection, lifetime updates, and the ability to save custom presets. No subscriptions: one payment, yours forever.
Download the installer from the download page at mixengine.inonda.tv. Run the installer which will automatically copy the VST3 file to the correct folder on your system. Make sure you have Ollama installed (free download from ollama.com). Restart your DAW and MixEngine AI will appear in the plugin list.
No, absolutely not. MixEngine AI processes all audio locally on your computer using Ollama. Your audio files, mixes, and sessions never leave your machine. The only communication with our servers is for license verification and downloading updates. Your music stays 100% private.
