Offline mixing and mastering, on your own computer.
Mix & Master Desktop puts the Cryo Mix mixing and mastering tool on your Mac or Windows PC. Drop in your stems, mix them in real time and master the song. Every file stays on your computer, and nothing is uploaded.
Included with Creator and Pro, for Mac and Windows
Your music stays on your computer. Each project is a folder in your Music folder, and the audio in it is sorted, mixed and mastered on your machine. It is never uploaded.
How it works
From installing the app to a finished master, in four steps.
Install Cryo Mix Hub
Download Cryo Mix Hub for Mac or Windows and sign in with your Cryo Mix account. Mix & Master Desktop opens from its home screen, beside your plugins.
See the plugins
Drop in your stems
Drag in your stems or a finished song. Each stem is identified by instrument and sorted into groups, and the tempo and key are read from the audio, all on your computer.
Mix in real time
Our model is trained to predict the best settings for each track, and every effect is real audio processing you can change. Move a fader or turn a knob and you hear it straight away, with no render to wait for.
Master and export
Create the master in the same window and compare it with the mix at the same loudness. Then save the master, the mix or the mixed stems, or open the session in FL Studio or Logic Pro.
The same engine as Mix & Master Online, on your machine
Mix & Master Desktop runs the same processing code as our servers, built for your computer, so a mix sounds the same wherever you made it.
Real-time playback
Every change plays as you make it. On a lower-powered computer the mix is rendered first, then played.
Vibes
Ready-made directions for each instrument and for the master, heard live before you apply them.
Canvas
Every stem placed by pan and volume on one view, to move by hand.
Advanced settings
Open any track's chain: EQ, compression, de-essing, reverb, delay, pitch correction and more.
Notes and clean-up
Tune a vocal note by note, and remove clipping and background noise, on your computer too.
Cut and erase
Trim a stem or erase a part of it without leaving the session.
History
Every change is kept, so you can go back to any earlier version of the mix or the master.
Nova
Ask for a change in your own words. Nova needs an internet connection, and it is sent your project's settings, never the audio.
Masters, mixes and stems, saved to your computer
Save the master and the mix as WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3, and the mixed stems as WAV. Or open the session in FL Studio or Logic Pro and carry on working there.

Mix and master without uploading.
Same engine, same sound. Work in your browser, or run Cryo Mix on your own computer for faster processing and files that never leave your machine.

Questions
Can I mix and master offline?
Yes. Mix & Master Desktop mixes and masters on your own Mac or Windows computer, and it does not need an internet connection while you work. You sign in once in Cryo Mix Hub, which renews your license whenever you are online.
Is my music uploaded anywhere?
No. Each project is a folder in your Music folder, and the stems, mixes and masters in it are read and written on your computer. Only Nova goes online: when you ask Nova for a change, it is sent your project's settings, never the audio.
What is the difference between Mix & Master Online and Mix & Master Desktop?
They are the same tool on the same engine. Mix & Master Online runs in your browser and keeps your projects in your private cloud storage, so you can work from any device. Mix & Master Desktop runs on your computer and keeps everything there, with nothing to upload.
Does the AI generate my music?
No. Our model is trained to predict the best settings for each track and for the master. Every effect is real audio processing that you can see and change. Your music content is never used to train our models.
Which computers does it run on?
A Mac with macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple silicon or Intel, or a 64-bit PC with Windows 10 or 11, with 4 GB of memory. With fewer than 4 processor threads or less than 4 GB of memory, it renders the mix before playing it instead of playing it live.
Which audio files can I use?
Stems or a finished song as WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, M4A or Ogg. Masters and mixes are saved as WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3, and the mixed stems as WAV.
Is there a limit on how many stems I can use?
No. Everything runs on your computer, so a project holds as many stems as your computer can play. Opening a session in FL Studio or Logic Pro takes up to 32 stems.
Can I master a song I mixed somewhere else?
Yes. Drop in a single finished song and choose Master. You can set loudness, tone and width, match a reference track, and compare the master with the mix at the same loudness.
Can I open my mix in FL Studio or Logic Pro?
Yes. Open in your DAW builds an FL Studio or Logic Pro project from the session on your computer, so you can carry on working on it there.
Does Nova work offline?
No. Nova runs on our servers, so it needs an internet connection. Offline, everything else in the app works as usual.
