Where it started
Mix Lock began life right here.
Before the mix scorecard, the device guides and the 43-channel template, there was one simple need — somewhere to keep every idea, every half-finished loop, every track waiting to be mixed. From first spark to sent-to-labels.
That little track organiser grew up. It became Mix Lock — the app that doesn't just hold your tracks, it teaches you how to finish and mix every one of them.
Mix Lock Lite is that original concept, kept free — the seed the whole thing grew from, yours to keep.
The Guides
Interactive device guides
Real Ableton devices you can actually drag, explained control by control for peak-time trance. The same plain-language way Mix Lock teaches every device in your mix.
The Compressor
Drag a real Ableton Compressor, pick the sound you're on, and see what every control does — and what too much or too little sounds like.
Open guide →The Glue Compressor
The bus glue that holds a peak-time drop together — every control, hands-on, in plain language.
Open guide →More devices
Saturator, Roar and more are on the way — one device at a time, the way Mix Lock teaches them all.
