Built to disappear into your session.
A small, fast plug-in and a free phone app that put your mix on your phone in one tap - so you can hear how it really sounds where it counts. Below: what it does, what it doesn't, and why.
Your DAW, playing on your phone.
mixaphone captures the master bus of your DAW inside the plug-in - the transmitter - encodes it, and pushes it as UDP packets over the local network to your phone, where the app receives it. A small jitter buffer on the phone smooths out the inevitable Wi-Fi hiccups.
Stream quality is one setting in the phone app, with three
options. low latency runs around
60 ms round-trip on 5 GHz
Wi-Fi - tight enough for monitoring. balanced
(~220 ms) is the default,
and stable
(~520 ms) rides out bad
Wi-Fi without dropouts. Changes apply on the next connection.
Every major DAW. The honest version.
Eight DAWs, one feature set. mixaphone drops onto the master bus as an AU or VST3 plug-in and streams that audio to your phone - the same way in every one of them. The only thing that varies is whether the DAW runs on Mac, Windows, or both.
| DAW | Mac | Win | Audio to phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logic Pro | ✓ | - | ✓ |
| REAPER | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Cubase | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Studio One | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| FL Studio | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| GarageBand | ✓ | - | ✓ |
| Ableton Live | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Bitwig Studio | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Logic Pro and GarageBand are Mac-only; the other six run on Mac and Windows. Whatever you're in, the plug-in streams your master bus to the phone - no per-DAW caveats in v1.
Free phone apps. No account.
The iPhone and Android apps are free - no account. Open the app and hear your mix on your phone, exactly how it lands for everyone else. A phone-only mute silences the computer's speakers while your headphones keep streaming - handy in a shared studio.
The real streaming screen on iPhone - live VU, peak / RMS readouts, and a phone-only mute that silences the computer while your headphones keep streaming.
One-time price. Three devices. No subscription.
mixaphone is $14 once. The license covers three devices you own or control - your studio Mac, your laptop, your partner's Windows machine, whatever fits. Hit the limit and you can deactivate any device from inside the plug-in to free up a slot.
The license phones home occasionally to re-validate. If your network is down for up to seven days, mixaphone keeps working. Past that you'll get a non-blocking nag until it can re-check. We don't time-bomb your sessions.
If mixaphone doesn't run in your DAW or reach your phone, you can ask for a refund within 14 days. Email support@humpbackaudio.com with your order ID and a quick note on what went wrong.
One tap. The room stays quiet.
The phone app has a 📱 toggle that drops the computer's output to silence while the phone keeps streaming. Late-night sessions, shared studios, listening tests while someone else is on a call - all handled from your pocket.
The plug-in remembers the state per project, so you can leave a session and come back to the same mute behavior the next day.
14-day, works-or-refund. So just try it.
If mixaphone won't run in your DAW or reach your phone, email and we'll refund you. We'd rather fix it than keep your $14.
