Real-time DSP
EQ, compression, limiting, reverb, delay — processed on-device with near-zero latency. No cloud round-trips, no buffer surprises mid-set.
Portable pro audio for live sound, creators, and small venues.
MixDroid is a standalone hardware mixer with low-latency DSP, flexible routing, and a touch-first workflow — so you can mix, record, and stream without a laptop in the signal chain.

Watch the demo ↓In the box
- The MixDroid unit — 8-in / 8-out onboard codec, mic or XLR inputs plug in directly
- Real-time DSP — EQ, compression, and limiting on every channel
You provide (optional)
- A USB audio interface — only needed if you want to expand past the built-in 8 channels

Need more than 8 channels? A USB audio interface plugs into MixDroid the same way, for expansion.
Why trust MixDroid
Built in public, shaped by real feedback — every positioning decision on this page came from conversations with actual podcasters, streamers, and musicians, not a roadmap doc.

Real-time EQ, compression, and streaming running on the mixer itself — no laptop involved.
The problem
Stop juggling multiple boxes.
Most workflows still need a mixer, an audio interface, a recorder, and sometimes a separate streaming controller — each with its own cables, drivers, and failure points. MixDroid combines those jobs into one dedicated device, so setup is simpler and routing is easier to reason about.

How it works
Dedicated hardware, not a wrapper around a laptop.
MixDroid is purpose-built hardware with its own real-time audio engine — not an app you install, not a tablet controller you pair with a mixer, not a general-purpose device repurposed for audio. Microphones plug in directly, DSP runs on-device, and the output goes straight to your recorder or stream. Under the hood, a custom Android 13 build powers that engine — but the product is the mixer, not the OS.
Step 1
Mics plug in directly
Mic or XLR — no external interface required to get started.
Step 2
DSP runs on-device
EQ, compression, and limiting processed locally, with near-zero latency.
Step 3
Straight to stream or record
Output routes directly — no laptop relaying the signal in between.
Core workflow
What you can do with it.
Mixing, recording, and streaming — all handled on the device itself, from mic input to final output.
Recording & streaming output
Mix your mics, music, and soundboard, then route the result straight to your recorder or streaming software. No laptop in the signal chain.
Flexible routing & monitoring
Route channels between internal buses and external interfaces, and monitor on Peak, RMS, LUFS, and more — the full metering suite, not a single VU needle.
Dedicated hardware
Purpose-built mixer hardware with its own audio engine — not a phone app, not a tablet controller. Mics plug in directly; USB interfaces are optional for expansion.
Every module documented
Parametric EQ. Compressor. Limiter. Reverb. Delay. Spectrum. More.
Every screen, every control, every parameter — documented with real screenshots from the app.
DSP screens
Purpose-built. Not ported.
Every DSP module written from scratch — the same parametric EQ and compression you'd expect from a desktop DAW, without the desktop.
For the engineers
The numbers, if you want them.
Everything below runs on-device. Full technical detail, for anyone deciding whether this fits their rig.
Audio engine
- 32-bit internal mixing
- User-selectable codec sample rate, 48 kHz default (resampled internally to the selected rate)
- User-selectable latency — ~6 ms typical (300-sample buffer, standard kernel)
- Real-time kernel support for even lower latency — in development, not yet verified on Android
I/O
- 8-channel input / 8-channel output onboard codec — mic or XLR, plug in directly
- External USB audio interfaces supported for expansion (optional)
- USB-C 3.0 — usable as external audio interface or MIDI controller
- USB 3.0 × 1 + USB 2.0 × 3
DSP / effects
- 5 effects per channel, adjustable PDC
- 5-band parametric EQ — ±24 dB, Q 0.707–1.8, 8 filter types
- Stereo compressor — up to 20:1, sidechain input
- Lookahead limiter — Live / Standard / Mastering modes
- Algorithmic reverb, 4-mode stereo delay
Monitoring
- 8192-bin FFT spectrum analyser
- Peak, RMS, PPM, VU, K12, K14, K20
- LUFS Short & Momentary, scrolling waveform
- Phase response curve, vectorscope
Hardware
- 8-core 64-bit processor, up to 32 GB RAM
- Up to 256 GB storage
- 7″ multitouch display, Android 13-based engine
- Wi-Fi 5 + Bluetooth 5.0 / BLE
- MIDI-controlled faders, mute/solo
Latency figures above are from current standard-kernel testing and will be refined as development continues. See the features page for every module and screenshot in detail.

The backstory
7 years. One developer. Built from Lebanon.
MixDroid started because I couldn't find a mixer that worked without a laptop in the room. After 7 years of solo development, the result is a portable pro audio mixer for live sound, creators, and small venues — covering the full workflow: DSP, routing, recording, and streaming, standalone.
No VC money, no team, no shortcuts. Every DSP algorithm, every screen, every edge case — built by one person who uses it themselves.
