Steve Jeffries' profile on Product Hunt

About

Hi Product Hunt, I’m Steve, solo maker of MixMatch, a platform helping engineers, producers, and musicians check mixes, optimise them outside the studio, and get feedback. It’s a passion project built over the past year with input from fellow musicians and engineers. I started as a studio/live sound engineer in 2000, played in bands across the UK, and later became a Technical Manager working across audio, lighting, staging, video, and coding. MixMatch is bootstrapped. I built it on Replit with help from AI, though coding knowledge was key. I suck at social media, so if you don't and can help there, feel free to reach out.

Finally launching MixMatch on Monday 30th March

Hi Product Hunt,

Not too sure what to expect on here. I've been working on MixMatch for around a year now, sharing it with a few friends and fellow sound engineers and musicians. I'd be interested to know if there are other sound engineers on here who have difficulty with getting mixes to translate across environments and whether any room emulators have truly solved the problem for you.

For me, I really needed to just take my mixes with me and EQ on the spot, on systems that I actually spend a lot of time listening to music. Quite often people think a track they have worked on sounds wrong simply because their studio in which they mixed or mastered it isn't actually the place where they spend the most amount of time listening to commercial releases.

MixMatch - Make better release decisions about your music

If you're a producer, band or engineer who has ever struggled with getting mixes to translate across devices, then you need MixMatch. EQ on the fly from your car, or anywhere else outside the studio. Apply EQ curves from tracks you like to your own mixes. Collaborate with others on a project and keep track of mix alterations easily, placing alteration requests directly on a timeline. Engage with fans, friends and family and easily canvas their opinion on which mix or song they prefer.

Wanted to throttle our drummer so built an app to save him from me.

As a musician and sound engineer I'm fairly used to everyone under the sun having an opinion on what sounds good and what sounds bad. Some might even say that's one of the joys of music production; writing songs with your friends, playing and recording them, discussing what could be changed. Those people are usually not the ones who have to make the changes and in my experience they usually have very little understanding of the amount of work involved to make those "minor tweaks". But there was also an added layer of joy, because all of this useful feedback was usually spread over a 2 week Whatsapp chat, peppered with multiple different mixes and masters of the same song.

After recovering from a bout of scrolling induced vertigo and telling our drummer that this latest mix does not need reducing by 0.5dB at 5kHz (and I would only do it if he could spell the word "Decibel"), I decided to lock myself away in a padded room and build something that would make my life easier and also save the life of a drummer. He could drum to a click-track and was therefore a rare breed and worth saving.
