Set the balance.
FaderRider keeps it.
FaderRider rides your subgroup fader levels in real time, keeping your mix balanced and clear through music, speech and everything in between.
Three steps. Then it just rides.
FaderRider consists of two plugins that work together inside your DAW. No routing changes, no extra hardware.
Channel Rider on each group or subgroup
Put a Channel Rider on your vocal, band, talk-mic and FX groups or subgroups, and tell it what each one is.
One Master Brain
Put the Master Brain on your main output or master bus. It works with every Channel Rider to ride their levels toward your chosen preset or your own mix.
Pick a preset, enable Mix Assist
Presets are available for full bands, speech, podcasts and more. FaderRider holds your balance as the song or event unfolds.
Built for real, unpredictable mixes.
Mix Assist
Balances every group in real time to keep your mix cohesive, whether it's a song, a sermon or a conversation.
Presets and Learn
Start from built-in presets, or mix by hand and let FaderRider learn your balance.
Spotlight
Bring any channel to the front for a solo or a moment, then glide it back.
Automation read/write
Record FaderRider's moves as automation, perfect for mixing sessions as well as live shows, or play your automation back untouched.
Your limits, your rules
Set a minimum and maximum for each channel, and FaderRider never rides past them. Move a fader and it remembers your change, carrying it into everything it does next.
Loudness and safety
Live LUFS readout and a 0 dB safety limiter on the main output.
Anywhere the mix has to hold.

Your questions, answered.
What does FaderRider do?
It rides your subgroup fader levels live, keeping your mix balanced and cohesive the way you set it, through every part of the event.
Is it only for live use?
No. Use it live, or in the studio to get a balanced starting point and record its moves as automation.
Does it replace the engineer?
No. You set the balance and stay in control. FaderRider holds it, and any fader you move keeps your change.
Which DAWs and computers does it work with?
Mac, in AU and VST3 hosts. Tested in Logic Pro and Ableton Live; more DAWs and Windows are under development.
Can I use it live?
Yes, it's built for services, events and broadcasts, and works just as well when mixing in the studio. Channel Riders add no plugin latency; the Master Brain adds 1 ms.
When can I get it, and how much?
A private beta is coming first. Join the early-access list for beta testing and launch pricing.
