MixForge
Critical LISTENING for the laptop-music generation (ages 15–18): fix-the-mix puzzles you solve by ear — move the faders, EQ, and pan to match a reference, A/B your work, and read a live loudness (LUFS) meter that teaches the hard truth that louder isn't better. All stems are SYNTHESISED on-device — nothing copyrighted, nothing of yours recorded.

Balance
the fader ear — hears when the lead is buried or the bass is swamping everything
Tone
EQ by ear — muddy, harsh, thin, or dull, and the move that fixes it
Level
the loudness meter — teaches LUFS, and the hard truth that louder isn't better
Compare
A/B — audition your mix against the reference and trust what you hear
