Input strips on the left, output buses on the right — the whole signal path visible at once. Route any source to up to 4 outputs, capture system or per-app audio cable-free, EQ everything, sync your speakers, and chain studio-grade CLAP effects.
Grab everything your computer plays — or just one app — as its own channel strip. MixDesk X excludes its own output automatically, so capturing can never feed back.
One click captures everything playing on your machine — minus MixDesk X itself. Windows 10 2004+ via WASAPI Process Loopback (the same API OBS uses), macOS 13+ via ScreenCaptureKit.
Spotify, a browser, a game, Discord — each app becomes its own channel with EQ and effects. Mute the game, EQ the music, keep the call clean.
Mics, USB interfaces, webcam audio, line-in, loopback devices — everything CoreAudio or WASAPI can see becomes an input strip.
Every bus drives its own device. Every input routes to any combination of buses with one click. Each bus has its own EQ, CLAP effect chain, 0–1000 ms delay, and a transparent safety limiter with gain-reduction metering.
Every input and every bus has an insert chain for CLAP plugins — the modern open plugin standard. Stack as many as you like, open the plugin's native GUI, and your tuned chains come back with every preset.
Multiple slots per strip, each its own plugin instance. Native plugin GUIs or the built-in generic parameter editor. Plugin state is saved inside your presets.
No plugins installed? One click inside MixDesk X installs the free Airwindows Consolidated pack — EQs, compressors, tape, reverbs and more by Chris Johnson.
Gain, constant-power pan, 2/3/11-band EQ, mute/solo, precision faders with VU metering — on every input. EQ, delay and safety limiter on every bus.
MixDesk X is the app its developer runs around the clock on both platforms — float32 end to end, maximum-quality sample-rate conversion, automatic stream recovery when devices vanish or glitch.
Capture all system audio cable-free, EQ it, and play it to your speakers — laptop speakers suddenly sound like they should. Per-bus EQ tailors every output device separately.
Per-bus delay (0–1000 ms) lines up a Bluetooth speaker with wired speakers playing the same source — multi-room sound without the echo.
EQ and compress your mic with CLAP effects, send the bus to a free virtual cable, and Discord, Zoom or OBS pick it up as a microphone.
Game, music, voice — each on its own channel. Send a clean submix to the encoder while monitoring a different mix in your headphones.
