Ask it a mixing question. Get the answer.

PulseRoom is a mixing engineer you can ask a question, built for the genres nobody else builds reference tools for. Type it the way you would say it out loud, like "my 808 disappears on phone speakers", and get a one-line verdict, the steps, the settings to copy and the reason behind them.

PulseRoom answering
"My 808 disappears on phone speakers." The verdict, the curve, five steps and the setting to copy.

Written for the Music You Actually Mix

Every producer reference tool on the market is written for rock, pop and EDM. Open one while you are mixing Ghanaian highlife, Nigerian afrobeats or traditional gospel and there is nothing about a talking drum, nothing about a Hammond swallowing a choir, and nothing about where the log drum sits against the bass.

PulseRoom answers 1,000 specific questions. 284 of them were written for one genre only, and six kinds of gospel are treated as what they are: six genres that mix differently. It is not a better EQ chart. It is the one written for this music.

Ask

Say It the Way It Sounds in Your Head

"How do I stop the Hammond swallowing the choir?" "Where does the talking drum sit?" Type the question in your own words and PulseRoom finds it, offline, with synonyms worked out for you. There is no dead end: a question it has not seen brings up the nearest answers instead of an empty page.

Every answer gives you a one-line verdict, numbered steps, the exact settings to copy, a visual you can replay and the reason it works. It also tells you what goes wrong, which is the part a chart never says.

Browsing with the Traditional Gospel filter on: how do I tighten up my kick, answered with a gain-reduction picture, four steps and the attack, release, high-pass and bell settings

Genres

Pick a Genre and the Answers Change

Filter by any of 37 sources or 11 genres: Traditional, Contemporary, Praise and Worship, African and Urban Gospel, Gospel Trap, Afrobeats, Highlife, Hip-hop and Trap, and R&B. Mixing a Hammond under a twenty-voice choir is not the same problem as a pad under a synth lead, and PulseRoom does not pretend it is.

Every Tool Beside Your DAW

The tempo sits at the top of every page, and the tools underneath are set to it. Tap any value and it is copied, ready to paste into the plug-in.

The Delay Calculator at 120 BPM, with every note value in milliseconds and hertz

Delay

Every Note Value at Your Tempo

Milliseconds and hertz for every note value at the project tempo. Tap a card to copy it. When an answer tells you to use a dotted eighth, it links straight here with that card already ringed.

The Reverb Designer with tempo-synced pre-delay and decay, the decay envelope and the send EQ curve

Reverb

A Tail That Lands on the Grid

Six spaces, each with pre-delay and decay synced to the tempo, so the tail ends on the beat instead of smearing across it. The decay and the send EQ are drawn for you, not described.

The EQ Cheat Sheet on Lead Vocal: a real curve with the high-pass, the mud cut, honk, presence and air, and a card for each zone

EQ

A Real Curve, the Way a Plug-in Draws It

Thirteen sources, each drawn as an actual equaliser curve. A cut from 20 to 90 Hz becomes a high-pass, a boost from 10k to 16k becomes a shelf, and everything else is a bell with the width it needs.

Compression settings for Parallel Drums: the transfer curve with the derived threshold, the gain-reduction envelope, and ratio, attack, release and gain reduction

Compression

How Hard, and How Fast

The transfer curve sits beside the gain-reduction envelope: one shows how hard the compressor works, the other how fast. The threshold is worked out from the ratio and the gain reduction you want, which is the part most people get wrong by feel, so the number is printed on the plot.

The Mix Chains page with the plug-in order for a source and the reason for that order

Mix Chains

The plug-in order for each source, with the reason it runs in that order, not just the list.

The Mixing Guide, nine sections of habits behind professional mixes

The Mixing Guide

Nine sections on the habits behind professional mixes, written as a checklist to use every session.

Reference

Loudness targets for each platform, the frequency map, timing windows, and note to frequency for tuning 808s.

Questions

Wasn't PulseRoom free?
Version 1.0 was, and if you have it installed it keeps working. Version 1.2 is a different app: it answers 1,000 questions, which took months to write. That is what you are buying, at $21 for the first month and $28 after.
Which genres does it know?
Traditional, Contemporary, Praise and Worship, African and Urban Gospel, Gospel Trap, Afrobeats, Highlife, Hip-hop and Trap, and R&B, plus answers that apply across all of them.
Does it work offline?
Completely. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is loaded from the internet. There is no account inside the app.
Is it a plug-in?
No. It is a standalone app that lives beside any DAW, on a second screen or a quick switch away.
My computer warned me before opening it. Is that normal?
For now, yes. The installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning (click More info, then Run anyway) and macOS may ask you to open it from System Settings, Privacy and Security. It is the same app either way.
Are the answers rules?
They are proven starting points with the reasoning attached. Trust your ears first.
