From the 1960s to our modern era, live audio mixing was really only done one way: by being physically behind a console in a specific room at a specific time. If the board was located at front of house, that’s where you mixed. If the mixer lived backstage, that’s where you had to be. Physical proximity wasn’t just inconvenient at times, it actively limited who could help, when problems could be addressed, and how realistic it was to consistently deliver great sounding audio.
Then the 2000s rolled in and audio mixing got even trickier with the rise of live video streaming. Audio engineers were suddenly expected to deliver an excellent in room mix while also creating a completely different mix optimized for people watching and listening remotely.
That raised the bar in a big way. It meant relying on experienced engineers who were willing and able to travel, often on short notice, just to be physically present behind a console.
By the mid 2010s, live streaming continued to gain steady momentum. By 2020, it exploded. Audiences shifted toward hybrid and watch from home experiences, while fewer qualified audio pros were eager to travel constantly to mix both front of house and live stream audio in person.

Final Thoughts
Mixing Station Anywhere is a cloud based platform for remote live audio mixing that enables audio engineers to control digital mixing consoles in real time from anywhere with an internet connection.
In other words, no more being physically bound to a specific board in a specific location just to mix great audio.
At its core, Mixing Station Anywhere brings professional mixer control into the cloud through a browser based interface. Engineers can make real time adjustments for front of house mixes, live stream mixes, or both.
Rather than replacing existing audio infrastructure, the platform is designed to work alongside the digital mixers teams already know and trust. The goal isn’t to reinvent mixing, but to remove the physical limitations that have traditionally defined it. And in the end, both in person and online listeners benefit, which is what audio production is really about anyway.
Mixing Station Anywhere uses two primary components to enable remote control.
The first is Mixing Station Agent. This lightweight application runs on a local device connected to the digital mixer. Its role is to securely bridge the mixer to the cloud, creating a live communication path between the hardware and the remote control interface.
The second component is Mixing Station Web. This is the browser based interface where engineers actually mix. Once connected, they can adjust preamp gain, fader levels, EQ, dynamics, routing, and other mixer parameters in real time from virtually anywhere.
Because Mixing Station Anywhere is often used alongside live video streaming, engineers can mix audio while actively watching the live video feed. This makes it easier to respond to what’s happening on stage or on screen, not just what’s coming through the speakers or headphones.
Just as importantly, control happens in real time. Adjustments made in Mixing Station Web are reflected immediately on the console, making remote mixing feel responsive and natural rather than delayed or disconnected.
Since everything runs through a standard web browser, there’s no need for specialized hardware or local network access. If someone has internet access and the right permissions, they can mix. And once they’re familiar with the Mixing Station Web interface, they can control any compatible digital mixer, since the layout stays consistent regardless of make or model.
Remote audio mixing with Mixing Station Anywhere opens the door to workflows that simply weren’t possible before.
Both live stream and front of house mixes can be controlled remotely, or one mix can be handled on site while the other is mixed online. Each venue can choose what works best based on their team, audience, and physical distance between engineers and equipment.
Touring engineers and backup operators can assist live events remotely. A remote engineer can step in if an on site operator becomes unavailable. Scheduled staff can still mix shows even if travel plans fall apart at the last minute.
Systems integrators and AV consultants can remotely configure, tune, or troubleshoot installed systems after deployment. Managed audio service providers and multi venue operators can centralize audio control and support across multiple locations. Mixing Station Anywhere can also be used as a private training environment, allowing newer team members to mix real events without the pressure of mistakes impacting a large audience.
Overall, we’re only beginning to scratch the surface of how many ways this platform can be used. The party’s just getting started.
Mixing Station Anywhere supports a wide range of digital mixing consoles from major manufacturers, with continued expansion as new mixers are released and adopted. Current compatible mixers include models from brands like Behringer, Yamaha, Allen and Heath, Soundcraft, Mackie, PreSonus, and Midas.
This broad compatibility is built on Mixing Station’s existing control architecture. Instead of locking users into a single hardware ecosystem, support spans entire mixer families. That makes it easier to adopt remote mixing without replacing consoles that are already doing their job well.
A full list of compatible mixers can be found here.
Mixing Station Anywhere was developed through a partnership between Mixing Station and BoxCast, and officially launched in January 2026.
Mixing Station brings years of experience building powerful, consistent mixer control software across a wide range of digital consoles. BoxCast contributes cloud infrastructure and live streaming expertise, with a platform designed to support reliable remote workflows.
Together, the partnership combines deep mixer control with cloud connectivity that’s purpose built for modern live production and streaming environments. The result is a platform that fits naturally into distributed workflows without adding unnecessary complexity.
Though it’s been this way for ages, audio mixing no longer has to be tied to a specific console in a specific room. With Mixing Station Anywhere, engineers can mix, monitor, and support live audio from wherever they’re needed.
As productions become more distributed and expectations for audio quality continue to rise, remote mixing isn’t just a convenience. It’s a practical response to how live audio and audio engineers actually work.
