Mixel is a desktop app for people who make music.

It keeps your sounds in one Library on your own computer, runs small apps that each do one job, and helps you find a sound by describing it or humming it.

Mixel's Library window. A search for “dry vocal chop in D minor” is shown as three filters: Sounds like dry chop, Tag is vocal, Key is D minor. Four vocal chops are listed, each with a line saying why it matched. — The Library in the current build: a search in words, shown as filters you can change.

What it does

Your Library: Add the folders where your sounds already live. Mixel indexes them in place, measures key, tempo and length, and never copies, moves or renames a file.
Apps that do one job: Small apps run on your own computer: separate vocals, take out reverb, convert a file. Each one asks before it touches your files.
Ask your Library: Describe a sound in plain English, like “dry vocal chop in D minor”. Mixel shows what it understood and why each sound matched. It runs on your computer.
Hum to find: Hum a melody and Mixel finds the loops in your Library that carry it, in any key or tempo. The recording isn't kept unless you keep it.
