About Mixing Station

Fully customizable UI

Mixing Station features a fully customizable interface, enabling users to design personalized layouts, layers, and channel arrangements. This flexibility ensures quick access to frequently used functions, keeping essential tools within easy reach.

Create unlimited DCA groups (IDCAs)

Users can create an unlimited number of DCA groups (IDCAs), allowing for the simultaneous control of multiple channels. This functionality is especially valuable in live sound scenarios, where engineers need to adjust levels rapidly and efficiently.

Customizable layers, layouts, channel order and multi-group labels

Mixing Station empowers users to tailor their layers, layouts, channel sequencing, and multi-group labels. This organizational flexibility helps maintain clear labeling, minimizing the risk of errors and confusion during operation.

RTA overlay in PEQ /GEQ view

The application includes a real-time analyzer (RTA) overlay within the PEQ/GEQ (parametric/graphic equalizer) view. This feature aids in identifying problematic frequencies, allowing for precise EQ adjustments.

Channel linking and relative ganging

Users can link channels together to form relative-ganging groups, enabling the simultaneous adjustment of multiple channels. This ensures that levels and other parameters remain consistent across linked groups.

Gain reduction history for gate and dynamics

Mixing Station provides a gain reduction history for gate and dynamics processing, displaying how much reduction has been applied over time. This visual feedback helps users fine-tune processing for optimal results.

Peak hold for all meters, editable hold times

All meters feature a peak hold function with adjustable hold times, making it easier to monitor levels and detect peaks or distortion without missing transient signals.

Peq preview in channel strip

A PEQ preview function is integrated into the channel strip, allowing users to audition equalization settings before applying them. This feature facilitates sound shaping and ensures the desired tonal balance is achieved.

High contrast mode for outdoor usage

Designed for outdoor use, the high contrast mode enhances screen visibility in bright sunlight. This reduces eye strain and improves usability in challenging lighting conditions.

Popgroups

The pop groups feature allows users to assign channels to groups that can be unmuted with a single button press. This is particularly useful in live sound settings, where quick adjustments are often required.

Routing Matrix

Mixing Station includes a routing matrix, enabling users to route signals between channels and buses. This simplifies the configuration of complex signal paths and ensures accurate connections.

Up to 32 channels per layer

Supporting up to 32 channels per layer, Mixing Station offers ample capacity for various mixing tasks, making it a versatile solution for diverse audio environments.

Mix copy

The mix copy function allows users to duplicate settings from one mix to another, facilitating quick setup of new mixes and ensuring consistent configuration across projects.

Feedback detection for ringing out wedges

An integrated feedback detection feature assists in ringing out wedges and other monitor speakers, helping to minimize feedback and maintain a clear, balanced mix.

More features available depending on the connected mixer model

Additional features are available based on the connected mixer model, providing users with enhanced flexibility and control over the mixing process.

Conclusion

Mixing Station is a powerful and versatile mixing application offering a wide array of features designed to enhance the efficiency and intuitiveness of the mixing process. Its fully customizable UI, adaptable layers, multi-group labels, RTA overlay in PEQ/GEQ view, and gain reduction history for gate and dynamics are just a few of the many
