How do I install Mixroadie on a Mac?

Open the disk image, drag Mixroadie to Applications, open it and press Install. It takes about two minutes and needs no admin password.

Updated

You need a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and REAPER 6.83 or newer. On an Intel Mac, see Does Mixroadie work on an Intel Mac?

  1. Quit REAPER. The installer sets up the Mixroadie panel and its keyboard shortcut in REAPER, and the shortcut can’t be added while REAPER is open.
  2. Download Mixroadie and open the .dmg file from your Downloads.
  3. Drag Mixroadie to Applications, then open it from there.
  4. macOS asks once whether you want to open an app downloaded from the Internet. Click Open. The app is signed and notarised by Apple.
  5. Press Install. It finds REAPER and sets Mixroadie up in it.

What the installer asks

  • Help improve Mixroadie: an optional box for anonymous usage statistics. It starts unticked.
  • Where the AI runs: on your Mac, in the cloud with your own API key, or through your Claude or ChatGPT app. You can also decide later. See Which AI model should I choose?
  • Your licence: start the free trial with your email address, paste a licence key, or press Later.

What it installs

No admin password, no developer tools and no system software. Everything lives in one folder in your home folder, and you can delete the downloaded .dmg afterwards.

Next

Open Mixroadie in REAPER with Cmd+Ctrl+M.

Still stuck?

Write to us with your computer (Mac or Windows and its version), your REAPER version and what you see. A screenshot helps.
