AutoMix rides gain. So you don't have to.

Hands-free, DSP-based automatic mixing — purpose-built for live radio.

Anyone who's ever mixed a program with multiple guests and mics has probably wished they had more hands. That's why Lawo invented AutoMix, the hands-free, DSP-based automatic mixing system that frees board operators to tend to the whole show — not just the console faders.

Using AutoMix

AutoMix is simple to use: just four steps are needed to get up and running. The system works across Lawo Ruby and Sapphire mixing consoles, as well as the RƎLAY VRX virtual radio mixer — giving you consistent automatic mixing whether you're on a physical surface or a software-based workflow.

At its core, AutoMix rides gain on selected sources using assignable priority weighting. Host mics can be set to gently duck guest mics, phone callers, and remote contributors — all without the operator touching a fader. The result is a smooth, virtually unnoticeable gain adjustment that avoids upcutting, lag, or the pumping artifacts that plague lesser automatic mixers.

How does AutoMix sound?

Lawo describes AutoMix as smooth and transparent — the kind of processing you don't notice until someone turns it off. Audio samples are available to demonstrate the sound quality, letting you hear how AutoMix handles multi-mic roundtables, phone segments, and fast-paced talk shows with natural-sounding results.
