Mixonset Support: FAQ
Mixing Features
Will the transition come sooner if I skip to it?
No it will not. Since it takes Mixonset a while to analyze the song to create the purple dot for the song transition, skipping to the end will not make the transition come sooner. The songs may not even mix in time.
If you want transitions to come sooner, instead select Highlight mode at the bottom right corner. That ensures that shorter highlights of tracks get played.
How to change the transition point?
Simply drag the purple dot to where you want the transition to happen, and your AI DJ will optimize the mix to happen at that part of the track. Apart from that, Mixonset can give you a set of ideal transition points in the form of white dots, and you can easily drag the purple dot to any of them.
You can also use Highlight Mode to preset the song length.
Can I transition a song at a specific moment?
FYI some songs are not immediately customizable if you’re using Highlight mode on Spotify, so you can either try again after a while or play the songs once without Highlight mode and they will become customizable. Additionally it’s not possible to pinpoint the exact moment to transition, as the AI would try to optimize the transition somewhere close to where you drag the dot.
Can I save a transition point?
Yes, you can manually save a transition point for a specific song. All you need to do is tap the purple dot to lock it at that specific transition point.
How do I preset the starting and ending transition points of a song?
You can use the Mix Control feature to preset the transition points of a specific song. Simply go to the options of a song (wherever there’s 3 dots next to a song), and select Mix Control. From there, you can drag the red dot and purple dot to where you want the song to fade-in and fade-out.
Why doesn't the purple dot show up sometimes?
Not a mixable song:
Essentially, Mixonset should be able to mix any genre of music that a human DJ can mix, but it wouldn’t be able to mix classical or jazz. So the genre of music you’re playing may affect whether songs are mixable.
Not enough time:
If a song doesn’t have enough time to be analyzed, a purple dot will not show up. This may happen when you queue a song to be played next right before the current song is about to end.
Bad internet:
Due to the internet condition, sometimes the app would stop playing or play without mixing since it takes too long to load songs. To fix this, simply use a more stable network.
Why doesn't the purple dot change after I tap the white dot?
There may be a delay when you select a new white transition dot while the AI is analyzing the song. This loading time may take up to a few seconds.
Other Features
Why does the app keep pausing or crashing?
Bad internet:
Due to the internet condition, sometimes the app would stop playing or play without mixing since it takes too long to load songs. To fix this, simply use a more stable network.
Storage:
Check if your device still has storage left (At least more than 1GB)
Device:
While the app works on iPhone 8 and above, newer devices generally work better with faster mix creation speed.
Why can't I stream certain songs on Apple Music or Spotify? Why are some songs greyed out?
While we’re adding more songs every day, it’s unlikely that Mixonset will be compatible with the full Apple Music or Spotify Premium catalogue any time soon. So your best option for Mixonset is probably TIDAL HiFi if you prefer having a full catalogue. You can see our integrations page for more information.
All my playlists have disappeared from Mixonset. How can I get them back?
There are 2 things you can try:
- Pull down to refresh the playlists in the library In the settings (gear icon, top right corner)
- Log out of your account and login with your music service of choice.
How to edit my queue?
To edit the songs in your queue: go to the Queue page (top right button on the Now Playing screen), and click on the Edit button at the bottom right. It’ll let you delete songs and modify the queue easily.
To add songs to the queue, click the ‘Add Song’ icon on the top right of the Queue screen. To remove songs from the queue, you can swipe the song to the left on the Queue screen, then delete it.
Pro Tip: Use Display Features to see the BPM, Energy, or Length of your queue for more precise curation.
Can I save the order of a mix?
Yes, you can save the order of a mix. Simply use the “Save mix as playlist” feature (Mixonset app > Now Playing screen > Share button (bottom left) > Save mix as playlist).
How do I save all the transitions in a mix?
Yes, you can manually save a transition point for a specific song. All you need to do is tap the purple dot to lock it at that specific transition point.
How to play my mix in the same specific order?
Just click the downward arrow next to the Smart Mix button. Afterwards, simply select “Mix in this order” to play your music in the same order that it’s been manually curated.
How to order my mix by a specific order?
On the playlist page, scroll a little bit downwards to reveal a search bar. On the right of the search bar, you can order your playlist by BPM, Energy, Earliest, Most Recent, and more.
Pro Tip: You can also order your mix by a specific order and then play it by BPM, Energy, Earliest, Most Recent, and more.
Does Mixonset have an EQ?
Unfortunately, it’s not on our list of priorities right now as we’re working on adding big new features. We’ll keep this idea on the back burner for now.
How to equalize song volume so there isn't a big jump when songs change?
Mixonset currently normalizes your audio automatically so that songs will have a similar volume. Clearly there’s still some work to do for this feature. We will make improvements to it so that you wouldn’t have to keep changing the volume.
How to see the total playtime of a mix?
You can see the total playtime of a mix using the Mix Overview feature. Go to the Now Playing Page > Share/ Cocktail icon (bottom left) > Mix Overview.
