Free tier included: mastering analysis, no credit card, no waitlist. For full stem-level mixing intelligence, upgrade to a paid plan. Run the installer, activate on first launch, and start mixing.
What's new in 0.8.0: New measurement engine (MeasurementCoreV2): masking and buildup rebuilt from scratch, attack detector rebuilt, LUFS extrema and masking confidence now correctly reach the AI. Chat no longer answers as if analysed when it has not; answers verified before delivery. Navigating away from a capture no longer loses it.
Paid plans: your payment usually appears on your bank statement as PADDLE.NET* AIDIO
Windows may show "Windows protected your PC." Click More info, then Run anyway. A User Account Control prompt will follow — click Yes to allow the installer to run. Verify the SHA-256 above if you want to confirm the file is untampered before running it.
AIDIO ships as a single installer that places both required plugins in your VST3 folder. You need both, they work together.
The main plugin. Place this on your master bus. It listens to your full mix in real time and powers the AI analysis and chat interface.
Place this on individual channels, kick, bass, vocals, etc. It feeds stem-level data to AIDIO so the AI can see each element of your mix separately.
Check that your setup meets these requirements before running the installer.
