Total Mixing Performance in a Portable Package

Make the most of your on-the-go mixing sessions with the MIDImix portable DAW controller from Akai Professional. Sporting a familiar layout of faders, multi-functional knobs, and buttons for bank, mute, solo, and record arm functions, the MIDImix gives you complete, uncomplicated mastery over mixing and processing in Ableton Live (or any other DAW). The coolest thing about this phenomenal compact control surface; however, is its SEND ALL feature, which syncs your DAW's settings with the controls on the MIDImix. This means that picking up where you left off is as easy as pushing a button. At Sweetwater, we're amazed by the simplicity and usability of the MIDImix. When portability is a concern, the lightweight Akai Professional MIDImix is exactly what you need to create great mixes!

Plug-and-play setup provides control with the ease you need

Performers and producers of every niche here at Sweetwater find the Akai Professional MIDImix to be a streamlined, easy-to-use, ultra-portable Ableton Live controller. Designed specifically to work with Ableton Live, you'll enjoy plug-and-play setup for creation, recording, and shows. Simply plug it into your computer and launch Ableton — whether you're an experienced electronic musician or a novice to the concept, the compact design, natural workflow, and seamless 1-to-1 integration mean you'll be making music with Ableton and the MIDImix in no time.

SEND ALL feature saves time and eliminates frustration

Have you ever worked on a mix, went to bed, then wanted to pick up where you left off when you woke up? Did your DAW forget where your control surface's buttons and faders were? The Akai Professional MIDImix portable DAW controller makes this scenario a thing of the past, thanks to its revolutionary SEND ALL feature. Just hit the SEND ALL button, and the MIDImix syncs your DAW's settings with the controls on the MIDImix. No more of those irritating instances when your buttons and faders don't match with your software, leaving you to wiggle or move everything until your DAW figures out where the physical controls are. Talk about a time (and sanity) saver!

Perfect portability for producers and performers

The Akai Professional MIDImix portable DAW controller's compact design makes it perfect for mobile performers and studio producers alike. Set up your scenes and set list at home, throw it in your backpack along with your laptop, and you're ready for the gig. USB power means that you'll never forget a power supply, and with the plug-and-play integration you'll be set up and ready to perform in seconds.

The Best Midi Controller Out There!

This is the best thing out there! Its a mixer that's its job. Also made for Ableton Live works perfect with it. With any other DAW's the buttons won't work or lit. In Reaper for Example the buttons works as long as you know how to make them work. Right now I'm using it for PreSonus One Artist 5 and works beautiful in fact I have 5 MidiMix in a row working as a 40 faders mixing console with 40 panning and 2 sends for each track. Remember the word says it MIDIMIX it is intended for Mixing. In a Mixing session I won't be moving the knobs like crazy. I haven't test it in other DAWs Like Logic or Cubase or ProTools but I'm sure also works with those DAWs. If you know what you are doing you'll make it work. For $... is the best thing out there for Mixing.
Music background: 26 years as musician/4 years as Mixing Engineering.

AKAI Professional MIDIMIX

It's wonderful when equipment does exactly what it's supposed to with no hiccups
Rated 4.5/5

Awesome

I didn't even need this but my sales rep zac is so amazing at sales he sold it to me. I have no idea what it does, maybe I'll use it as a coaster for a drink.
Zac could sell me a bag of ice for my future trip to hell and I'd buy it gladly off him.
Zac deserves to be cloned and replace all the other sale people at sweetwater.
Top notch salesman, great guy.
I'm gonna write him In For president, know that I think about it,for 2024 vote.
