The Mixhaus workflow
Mixhaus is designed for studios that want supported exports captured from watched folders, selected versions sent for client review without an account, and approval and final delivery retained in the same project history.
Mixhaus vs Mixup
Both Mixhaus and Mixup organise audio revisions, collect feedback, support approval, and deliver files. Mixup connects collaboration to the DAW through its plugin; Mixhaus watches export folders and runs the asynchronous client project from capture through final delivery.
The Mixup workflow
Both products support high quality audio, organised revisions, waveform feedback, approvals, and delivery. Mixup uses DAW plugins for its integration; Mixhaus adds automatic export capture from watched folders and retains review decisions and final delivery in the client project.
Detailed comparison
How Mixhaus and Mixup differ across the audio production and review lifecycle.
| Question | Mixhaus | Mixup |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic export capture | Watches selected export folders and captures new versions in the background. | Its DAW plugin can upload, compare, and refine work without switching apps. Mixhaus instead watches selected export folders and captures supported stable files in the background. |
| Client accounts | Clients can review selected versions without creating a Mixhaus account. | Provides apps, web access, roles, and share permissions. Its current public pages do not clearly document whether every external review path can be completed without an account. |
| Version feedback | Timestamped notes and decisions stay attached to the exact version heard. | Supports revisions and waveform comments. Mixhaus also keeps feedback and decisions attached to the exact version the client heard. |
| Approval | Approval and requested changes are recorded as explicit project decisions. | Supports approval workflows and roles that control who can approve files. |
| Final delivery | Final files can be delivered from the same project with a retained record. | Supports secure downloads and distribution of approved assets with version control. Mixhaus additionally retains the delivery manifest and download history in the client project. |
