System audio. Single apps. No virtual cable, no driver.

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.

🖥️

All System Audio cable-free

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.

🎵

Single Apps cable-free

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.

🎙️

Any Device

Mics, USB interfaces, webcam audio, line-in, loopback devices — everything CoreAudio or WASAPI can see becomes an input strip.

MixDesk X input picker — all system audio no cable needed, per-app capture, classic devices

Up to 4 stereo outputs. Each with EQ, delay & limiter.

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.

Bus 1
Main speakers, studio monitors — your primary output
Bus 2
Bluetooth speaker — delayed to stay in sync with the wired pair
Bus 3
Virtual cable → Discord, Zoom, OBS pick it up as a mic
Bus 4
Recording, headphones, confidence feed

A real CLAP plugin host in every strip.

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.

🎛️ Effect Chains

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.

🎁 ~400 Free Effects

No plugins installed? One click inside MixDesk X installs the free Airwindows Consolidated pack — EQs, compressors, tape, reverbs and more by Chris Johnson.

📊 Per-Strip Processing

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.

Built for real workflows. Runs 24/7.

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.

🔊

EQ Your Whole System

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.

🎧

Bluetooth + Wired in Sync

Per-bus delay (0–1000 ms) lines up a Bluetooth speaker with wired speakers playing the same source — multi-room sound without the echo.

🎙️

Studio Mic for Calls

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.

🎬

Streaming Submixes

Game, music, voice — each on its own channel. Send a clean submix to the encoder while monitoring a different mix in your headphones.

Everything included. Actually free.
