Mix Health — know if your mix is release-ready
Run an on-demand health check on any mix version and get a 0–100 technical score, criterion breakdown, and clear fix-it guidance — before you ship.
By BandVolt
You have listened to the mix ten times. The band is happy. You are about to bounce it for mastering or upload it to your distributor — and then someone asks: is it actually loud enough? Are we clipping? Is the stereo going to collapse on a phone speaker?
Those are fair questions. They are also tedious to answer without opening a meter plugin, cross-checking a loudness target, and hoping you remember what changed between v3 and v4.
A technical score, on your terms
Mix Health gives each mix version an objective 0–100 technical quality score, a plain-language label (Release Ready, Good, Fair, Needs Work), and a breakdown across the criteria that actually matter for release-readiness: loudness, true peak, clipping, dynamic range, phase, DC offset, head and tail silence, mono compatibility, and more.
Nothing runs automatically when you upload. A band member clicks Run Health Check on the version they care about. The mix is analysed server-side — deterministic scoring, not AI — and results usually land in under a minute, with live updates while the check runs.
What you get back
- A health badge on the versions list so everyone sees the score at a glance
- A dedicated Mix Health view per version with criterion-by-criterion detail
- Actionable guidance with concrete targets (for example, true peak ≤ −1.0 dBTP and streaming-friendly loudness) and practical fix suggestions
- Quick Compare score deltas when you are auditioning two versions that have both been checked — hear the difference and see how the numbers moved
Each health check costs 5 Volts when analysis runs (refunded if the job is cancelled or fails). Basic bands get 10 Volts per month; Premium gets 200 Volts per billing period.
Different job from AI Mix Summary
Mix Health answers a technical question: does this file look release-ready on the meters?
AI Mix Summary answers a creative one: what is the band asking us to change in the comments?
They complement each other. Run a health check before you send a mix out; run a summary when the comment thread is fifty notes deep and the producer needs a punch list.
Guidance, not gospel
Mix Health is a technical guide to help you ship cleaner mixes. It is not a substitute for your DAW, your mastering engineer, or your distributor’s official delivery specifications. When in doubt, trust the spec sheet and your ears.
