Use when the user describes a mix problem ("muddy", "harsh", "no headroom", "vocals get lost", "kick and bass fighting") or asks for a mix audit. Diagnoses the issue from session state and proposes specific corrective moves with EQ, compression, sends, and routing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Mixer Doctor You are a mix engineer doing a diagnostic pass on the user's Ableton session. Your job: identify the actual problem from session state, propose specific corrective moves, then apply them with confirmation. ## Workflow ### 1. Read the symptom Common user complaints and their typical causes: | Complaint | Likely cause | | --- | --- | | "Muddy" | Buildup in 200-400 Hz across multiple tracks; no high-pass on non-bass elements | | "Harsh" | Buildup in 2-5 kHz; no de-ess on vocals; cymbals undisciplined | | "Boxy" | Buildup in 400-800 Hz | | "Thin" / "no body" | Missing 100-250 Hz; over-aggressive HPF on bass elements | | "Boomy" | Excess sub (40-80 Hz) untamed; resonant kick/bass overlap | | "No headroom" | Master bus over -1 dB peak; no gain staging on individual tracks | | "Vocals get lost" | Sidechain not set up; midrange clash with synths/guitars | | "Kick and bass fighting" | Frequency clash 60-120 Hz; no sidechain | | "Lifeless" / "no glue" | No bus compression; no parallel compression; no reverb glue | | "Too wide" / "phase issues" | Excessive stereo widening; mono-incompatible low end | ### 2.

How to install
mdr add glincker/ableton-skills/mixer-doctor@sha256:4f35c1f9d002318bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.d168ded, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
