Genesis Mix Lab turns the complex, multi-step mixing and mastering process into something you can do in your browser. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced producer looking for a faster workflow, this tutorial walks you through everything from your first upload to your final export.
Step 1: Create Your Free Account
Head to the intelligent online mixing and mastering homepage and click "Start Mixing Free." Sign up with your email — no credit card required. The free tier gives you enough processing to hear what AI mixing can do with your actual tracks before committing to a plan.
Step 2: Upload Your Track
Once you are in the dashboard, click "Upload Track" and select your audio file. Genesis Mix Lab accepts WAV, MP3, FLAC, and AIFF formats. For the best results, upload a lossless format (WAV or FLAC) — the AI analyzes your audio at full quality and makes better decisions with higher-resolution source material.
If you have individual stems (separate files for vocals, drums, bass, etc.), upload those instead of a single stereo bounce. Stem-level processing gives the AI far more control over individual elements, resulting in a cleaner, more professional mix.
Step 3: Choose Your Genre Preset
After upload, select the genre preset that matches your production style. Each preset is trained on thousands of commercially successful tracks in that genre, so it understands the tonal balance, dynamic profile, and spatial characteristics that listeners expect. Available genres include hip-hop, trap, R&B, pop, lo-fi, EDM, rock, and more.
Not sure which preset fits? Start with the closest match and listen to the result. You can always re-process with a different preset — experimenting is part of the process. For deep dives into genre-specific mixing principles, explore our hip-hop mixing guide, trap beat production walkthrough, or R&B vocal mixing techniques.
Step 4: Review and Fine-Tune
Once processing completes, you will hear the AI-mixed version alongside your original. Toggle between them to hear the difference. The AI handles EQ balancing, compression, stereo imaging, reverb, and loudness optimization — all calibrated to your chosen genre.
If you want to adjust the result, use the fine-tuning controls. Increase or decrease vocal presence, adjust low-end weight, modify reverb amount, or shift the overall brightness. These controls operate on top of the AI's decisions, giving you creative control without needing to understand every technical parameter.
Step 5: Export Your Finished Track
When you are happy with the mix, click "Export." Choose your format (WAV for maximum quality, MP3 for smaller file size) and loudness target. The export engine automatically optimizes for your selected streaming platform — hitting the correct LUFS target for Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube without any manual configuration.
Your finished track downloads directly to your computer, ready for distribution. The entire process — upload to export — typically takes under five minutes for a single track.
