What is Setmixer and how does it work?

Setmixer is a service that automatically records live music performances at partner venues in professional studio quality — then uses AI to mix them. It solves a real problem: most live performances are lost the moment the show ends.

Setmixer partners with venues that host up-and-coming artists and installs dedicated recording devices connected directly to the soundboard. These devices multitrack-record entire shows autonomously — capturing each instrument and vocal as a separate high-quality track — with no effort from the venue or the artists.

How it works:

  • Setmixer installs recording devices at partner venues, wired to the soundboard
  • Devices autonomously multitrack-record every performance
  • AI mixes the recording into a professional-quality “perfect mix” — no manual editing
  • Artists access the mixed full set plus individual stems through an online portal

The AI auto-mix is the core technology — it turns raw multitrack soundboard captures into release-ready recordings instantly.

How much does Setmixer cost?

Setmixer is completely free for both musicians and partner venues — no subscription fees, no equipment costs. The business model is revenue-sharing: Setmixer shares 30% of proceeds from recording sales back to the venues. Artists get their recordings at no cost; the platform earns when fans purchase recordings.

What makes Setmixer different?

Most AI mixing tools process audio you upload. Setmixer is different — it captures the audio itself, at the source, from real live performances. For independent artists, that means professional live recordings they could never otherwise afford, delivered automatically.

It’s less a production tool and more an infrastructure service for preserving and monetizing live music — with AI mixing as the technology that makes free, instant, professional output possible.

What are some use cases for Setmixer?

  • Live performance archives — preserve shows that would otherwise be lost
  • Social media content — shareable clips from real performances
  • Live releases — turn a strong set into a released live recording or EP
  • Remix material — individual stems from live performances
  • Artist promotion — high-quality live recordings to build a following
  • Venue programming — venues attract artists by offering free recordings and earn a revenue share

Setmixer is most valuable to independent artists who play live at partner venues — and to venues that want to support local talent while opening a new revenue stream. Check whether venues in your area are Setmixer partners.
