Finish the entire vocal chain

One plugin solves one stage.
A vocal preset connects the full chain.

Use this plugin when you want focused control over one mix job. When you need a DAW ready starting chain for tuning, cleanup, dynamics, tone, and space, compare the vocal presets built for your recording software.

The industry secret

Your favorite plugins.
A fraction of the price.

Named mix and mastering tools can cost more outright, live in bigger subscription catalogs, or depend on vendor account managers. RysUp keeps the finish chain focused: one plugin, one simple license key, and the Suite option when you want the whole catalog.

Official product pages checked October 30, 2026. Curves AQ shows $39.99 against a $129 list price; Neutron 5 full is $299; smart:EQ 4 is $129. Prices are dated USD snapshots before tax and may change. Neutron is a broader mixing suite; smart:EQ 4 already provides hierarchical group unmasking. RysUpMix focuses on local role-based tonal analysis, explicit protection, and linked EQ decisions. No sonic-equivalence, trained-AI, or lowest-price claim.

From the build log

What we actually check before shipping.

Practical notes from the Rys Up workflow so this page gives more than a generic plugin description.

01

Vocal-first workflow

RysUpMix is tested in real vocal chains before release, not just as a generic audio effect.

02

Format status

macOS Universal AU, VST3 and AAX; Windows x64 VST3 and AAX. MIX analyzes audio passing through this insert. MIX ALL works with explicitly linked instances; it does not control DAW faders or other plugins.

03

Release cadence

Updates ship through RysUpHub so fixes and new workflow improvements reach active customers quickly.

Inside Mix

Your priorities stay in view.

See the incoming spectrum, chosen EQ, and linked tracks together. Keep analysis, priorities, and protection under your control.

Hear the track. Choose the direction.

Choose the instrument role, play a representative passage, and press MIX. Compare Balanced, Warm, and Present options and set how much processing you want.

Protect the lead. Shape the group.

Create a group and join the other instances using its group code. Set track priorities, protect the results you want to keep, then run MIX ALL.

Built different

Small team. Real humans. Shipping daily.

The big plugin brands take years between updates. We ship improvements every day, because we're small, fast, AI-accelerated, and actually listening to the people using our plugins.

We iterate faster than anyone

Leading AI in our dev workflow means we ship new features, new plugins, and bug fixes on a near-daily cadence. Waves took 20 years to update their EQ. We update every week.

You ask, we build

Tell us what you want in the plugin and we'll build it. Suite subscribers get direct access to the dev team. Submit feature requests and see them shipped, usually within the week.

Here to disrupt, not extract

No iLok dongles. No paid "upgrade plans." No sales teams taking a cut. We skip the middlemen and price our plugins at what they're actually worth. Pro-grade DSP at indie prices.

Got feedback? Send it our way. We read every message, and we ship what the community asks for.

Built for pro records

Analyze a track, choose its tone, and protect the result. Link your tracks so MIX ALL shapes their EQ around the parts you put first and sets your vocal levels against the beat.

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know.

Can I try the plugin before I buy it?
Yes. Same protected vocal and individual EQ in both clips. Linked mix adds group unmasking to the music, with no changes to the track levels. Use the audio player on this page to compare the same passage before you decide.
What does RysUpMix do?
RysUpMix combines local tonal analysis with EQ decisions across a linked group. MIX creates a starting point for one track; MIX ALL shapes the unlocked group around the tracks you protect and prioritize.
Does it mix my whole DAW session?
It only analyzes audio passing through RysUpMix instances you explicitly link. On linked vocal tracks, MIX ALL sets the level inside RysUpMix. It does not move DAW faders or pan, change routing, or adjust other plugins. Set your rough instrument levels first. A later fader or effect can change the balance without changing the signal at this insert, so listen in context and relearn when needed.
How does vocal level balance work?
Set each linked track’s source: Lead Vocal, Vocal Double, Backing Vocal, Ad-lib, Vocal Fill or Beat. MIX ALL measures every track and sets the vocals against the beat: leads just under it, doubles, ad-libs and backing vocals tucked under the leads, and fills matched to the leads. The beat is never changed. Priority nudges a track up or down, PROTECT keeps its level, and the LEVEL button turns the balance off.
What does PROTECT mean?
PROTECT preserves this track’s EQ choices during automatic mixing and group decisions. Use it for a lead vocal or another important part while fitting unlocked tracks around it. Host automation and changes elsewhere in the channel can still affect the sound.
Do I need to play audio before pressing MIX?
MIX needs incoming audio to analyze. Play a representative passage with the relevant tracks audible. A silent or stopped track cannot supply a useful tonal measurement.
Does it upload recordings or use cloud AI?
The tonal analysis and group EQ workflow run locally. It uses role-based spectral analysis; it is not presented as a trained generative AI system.
Should I use it on tracks and their parent bus together?
Choose one level for each sound in a group. Including both a track and its parent bus can count the same audio twice, so use separate groups when working at different routing levels.
How are groups separated?
Instances join using an explicit group code. Use a different group for each project. Saved tone, priorities, and protection are recalled, but each instance restores its group disconnected. Reconnect those instances explicitly when reopening the project. RysUpMix does not infer your DAW project identity automatically.
Is RysUpMix included in RysUpSuite?
Yes. An active RysUpSuite subscription includes RysUpMix, the current paid lineup, and future paid releases while active. You can also own RysUpMix outright.
