The Freedom to Experiment Without the Fear of Paying

In the world of audio engineering, creativity shouldn't come with a ticking meter. We believe you should only pay for results you love, not for the attempts it took to get there. That is the core philosophy behind the Cryo Mix credit system.

Anyone whoโ€™s hired a mixing engineer has felt this: payment happens upfront, while the final sound is still a question mark. Cryo Mix is built to remove that uncertainty. You can process and preview as much as you want, and a credit is only used when youโ€™re ready to take the final audio home.

The Golden Rule: One Credit = One Project

The most important thing to remember is this simple equation: 1 Credit = 1 Project.

Whether you are using our AI Mix & Master tool, the Beat Optimizer, or the Audio Separator, the cost remains the same. But here is where it gets interesting: You don't pay that credit just to see what happens. You only pay when you are ready to take the final audio home.

Unlimited Previews

Imagine walking into a clothing store. You wouldn't pay for a shirt just to try it on in the fitting room, right? You should only pay if you decide to wear it out of the store.

We apply the same logic to audio processing:

  • Upload and Process: You can upload your tracks and let our AI do its work without spending a credit.
  • Listen and Evaluate: You can preview the results as many times as you want.
  • Commit Only When Happy: A credit is deducted only when you click the download button.

Our goal is no surprises. You always know exactly how many credits you're using before you commit.

Tweaking Your Sound for Free

Audio is subjective. Sometimes the first pass is 90% there, but you need to adjust the warmth, the width, or the loudness. In many other systems, re-running the processor would cost you another credit. Not here.

Once you have spent a credit on a project (by downloading it once), that project is unlocked. You can:

  • Make Minor Tweaks: Adjust advanced settings or presets.
  • Car Test: Download a version, listen to it in your car, come back, tweak it, and download again.
  • Experiment: Play around with different mastering styles on that same track.

As long as the core audio files remain the same, you won't be charged a second credit for that project.

When Does a "New Project" Begin?

There is one specific scenario where a new credit is required. If you upload additional files or significantly change the source audio, our system detects this change.

Because the source material has changed fundamental, we treat this as a brand new project. If you decide to download this new version, a new credit will be deducted. This ensures fairness - we are processing a new piece of art, so it requires a new credit.

Credit Breakdown by Tool

To keep things crystal clear, here is a quick reference guide for how credits apply to our suite of tools:

*Note: The Artwork Tool is slightly different. Because the generation happens upfront, the credit is used when you upload. However, to ensure you get the perfect look, we include 20 edits with that single credit.

Conclusion

The Cryo Mix credit system is built on trust. We trust that if we give you a great result, you'll be happy to pay for it. By allowing unlimited previews and free tweaks on unlocked projects, we remove the risk from your workflow.

You can focus entirely on getting the perfect sound, knowing that your credits are safe until you are 100% satisfied. Now, why not upload your first track and hear the difference for yourself?
