Audio Engineer Builds Mix Analysis Tool with Claude Code
An audio engineer has built a mix analysis tool using Claude Code that provides direct feedback on audio mixes. The tool addresses common problems like muddy low-mids, insufficient headroom, and vocals buried in the mix.
How It Works
The tool uses the Web Audio API to analyze frequency balance, dynamics, stereo width, and loudness. Claude then generates a detailed breakdown of what needs work, functioning like an engineer friend who provides honest feedback without sugarcoating.
Features
- Free tier: Provides a quick roast highlighting main issues
- Paid pro report: Offers deep dive analysis with frequency-by-frequency notes and specific plugin suggestions
Technical Implementation
The entire application was built with Claude Code, including:
- Frontend development
- Analysis logic
- Prompt engineering for roast output
The developer noted that the most challenging aspect was getting the Web Audio API to extract meaningful data from audio files before sending it to Claude for interpretation.
The tool is available at roastyourmix.com.
