What it is

Mix Monolith is an automatic mixing system plugin by AYAIC that uses universal level-plane increments of 5dB to level tracks across individual tracks, buss groups, FX channels, and your master fader. The plugin builds a balanced, open mix with minimal manual intervention. It also features infinite Duck/Expand/Mute groups using a hard-limit approach that delivers exact ducking amounts - when you dial in -3dB of duck on the bass track, that's exactly what you'll get on every kick hit.

Who it's for

Mix engineers and producers who want to get to a solid, balanced starting mix in minutes rather than hours. It suits any genre from dense electronic productions to live band sessions where consistent gain-staging across many tracks is time-consuming.

Key features

• Automatic level balancing using 5dB universal level-plane increments across all channel types
• Infinite Duck/Expand/Mute groups with hard-limit ducking for precise, repeatable sidechain results
• Multi-group ducking lets a single trigger duck multiple destinations simultaneously - a kick drum can duck the bass, overheads, ambiance, and music buss in one group
• Expand mode adds dynamic presence to louder passages, such as boosting vocal distortion on peaks while ducking reverb by one level-plane
