NCH Software MixPad Masters v12.52 is a standalone multitrack recording and mixing application for Windows, rather than a VST plugin. It suits hobby producers, songwriters and home recordists who want to arrange vocals, instruments and audio clips in one workspace.

MixPad lets you combine unlimited tracks and record one or several tracks at a time. Built-in EQ, compression and reverb handle common mixing tasks, while VST support lets you add compatible effects and instruments. ASIO support enables low-latency, sample-accurate recording with suitable audio hardware.

For building ideas, the included beat designer offers sample patterns or tools for creating your own rhythms. A royalty-free library supplies hundreds of music and sound-effect clips to use in productions. Sample rates range from 6 kHz to 96 kHz, with export options up to 32-bit floating-point audio.

Finished mixes can be saved as WAV, MP3 and other supported formats, burned to CD, or uploaded to SoundCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive. For Windows users seeking a separate recording and mixing workspace, MixPad provides an alternative to working inside an existing DAW.
