Built to disappear into your session.
A plug-in for your DAW and a free phone app. One tap and your mix plays on your phone's speaker while you keep working.
Your DAW, playing on your phone.
The plug-in sits on your master bus and sends your mix over your Wi-Fi to the free phone app. Tap your studio and you hear the mix on the phone's speaker, the one a lot of people listen on. Nothing to bounce or export.
Stream quality is one setting in the app. It starts on Auto, which adjusts to your Wi-Fi: on good Wi-Fi the delay is short and steady. Or pick Low latency, Balanced, or Stable, which rides out rough Wi-Fi. A change applies right away.

Eight DAWs. One plug-in.
In all eight, mixaphone goes on the master bus as an AU or VST3 plug-in and sends that audio to your phone the same way. The only difference is whether the DAW runs on Mac, Windows or both.
| DAW | Mac | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Logic Pro | Yes | No |
| REAPER | Yes | Yes |
| Cubase | Yes | Yes |
| Studio Onenow Fender Studio Pro | Yes | Yes |
| FL Studio | Yes | Yes |
| GarageBand | Yes | No |
| Ableton Live | Yes | Yes |
| Bitwig Studio | Yes | Yes |
Tested in all eight, with the same plug-in in each: AU and VST3 on Mac, VST3 on Windows.
Logic Pro and GarageBand are Mac only; the other six run on Mac and Windows.
Free phone apps. No account.
Free on iPhone and Android, with no account and no sign-in. Open the app on the same Wi-Fi as your computer, tap your studio, and your mix plays on the phone's speaker.
One screen: your studio's card, a signal meter with the peak level, and the whale, which sends out rings while your mix plays. Tap the card to listen. Tap Receiving to stop.
One-time price. Three computers. No subscription.
A mixaphone license is $14, once. It covers three computers you own or use, and phones don't count. To move it, click the gear in the plug-in to open About, then Manage license, then Deactivate this computer.
The plug-in checks the license when it loads, at most once a day. Offline, it keeps working for up to 7 days. After that, it opens on the license screen until it can check again.
One click. Only the phone plays.
Mute DAW in the plug-in silences your studio speakers while the phone keeps playing, so you hear the mix on the phone alone.
Broadcasting
Mute DAW turns off each time the plug-in loads, so a session never starts muted.
$14 once. Yours to keep.
Three computers, free updates through v2.x, no subscription.
