Mix Health Score: know if your mix is release-ready
Mix Health gives any mix version an objective 0-100 release-readiness score, a plain-language label, and a criterion-by-criterion breakdown - so "is this ready to send?" stops being a matter of opinion.
Mix Health in BandVolt runs an objective check on any mix version and returns a release-readiness score with plain-language guidance on what to fix. It flags loudness, clipping, and stereo issues early, puts a health badge on every version, and lets you compare scores between versions to confirm a revision actually improved things.

How it works
You choose when to run a health check on a specific mix version - analysis never starts automatically, so scratch ideas and reference imports stay unscored until you ask. A dedicated analyzer measures objective audio metrics and returns a deterministic 0–100 score with a badge and fix-it guidance.
Each run costs 5 Volts from the band's shared pool (refunded if the run is cancelled before completion, fails to enqueue, or permanently fails without a score). Guidance is rule-based, not LLM-generated - it explains what to fix and why.
What you can do
Check true peak, integrated LUFS, clipping, dynamic range, phase correlation, mono compatibility, sample rate, bit depth, channel format, and head/tail silence handling. Score bands map to Release Ready (90–100), Good (75–89), Fair (60–74), and Needs Work (0–59).
See a health badge on every analysed version at a glance, then compare scores in Quick Compare to confirm a revision moved the needle. Export data from the song menu downloads every completed Mix Health analysis as Markdown - scores, metrics, breakdown, and guidance - whenever you want a local copy.
Why it matters
Subjective "sounds fine" debates waste sessions. An objective checklist catches loudness, clipping, and stereo problems before you send the mix to a distributor - and gives the band a shared language for what still needs work. Keeping those scores in an exportable file means the technical record travels with the masters.
