What changed
Shipped in this update
- Active analyses are remembered while they run, with a short-lived browser pointer.
- The header now shows when an analysis is still running or ready to view.
- The homepage can reconnect to a running analysis or send you to the finished result.
- The waiting time can be used to update Studio Profile plugin categories.
The old wait felt too fragile
You upload a track. The analysis starts. Then you remember that your Studio Profile is missing a plugin, or you want to check another page while the queue runs. The server job kept working, but the browser made the run feel tied to one screen.
This update fixes that gap. Mix Analyzer now remembers a small pointer to the active analysis, shows a status pill in the header, and reconnects when you come back to the homepage.
What changed
- Analyzing... appears in the header while the job is still queued or running.
- Analysis ready appears when the result can be opened.
- The homepage can resume the live progress view instead of forcing you to start over.
- The pointer expires after about an hour, matching the active progress window.
The important part is simple: the server owns the analysis. The browser now does a better job of finding it again.
Why this matters for Studio Profile
Plugin-aware advice works better when your Studio Profile is complete. The analysis wait is a good moment to add your EQs, compressors, reverbs, saturation tools, stereo plugins, and mastering chain. You should not have to choose between waiting on the upload page and improving the profile that shapes future advice.
When your profile still has missing categories, Mix Analyzer now uses the wait to point you toward the setup. Open it, save the tools you use, and come back when the result is ready.
What happens if you leave Mix Analyzer completely?
The analysis job keeps running on the server. The header status cannot follow you to another website, but when you return to Mix Analyzer the site can reconnect to the active job if the short-lived pointer is still valid. If the result is ready, the status turns into a direct link.
This is not a permanent archive or a replacement for your normal results flow. It is a safer active-run handoff: start the analysis, move around, come back, and finish the review.
The cleaner workflow
- Upload your current bounce.
- Let the analysis start.
- Use the wait to complete Studio Profile or read another Mix Analyzer page.
- Return through the header status or the homepage resume flow.
- Review the result and make one mix decision before exporting again.
FAQ
Can I switch pages during an analysis?
Yes. The active analysis keeps running, and Mix Analyzer shows the running or ready state when you move around the site.
Can I go to another website and come back?
Yes, as long as the active pointer has not expired and your browser allows local storage. The analysis job itself continues on the server.
Does this change the analysis result?
No. It only changes the waiting and return flow. The audio analysis, scoring, and recommendations still come from the same server-side job.
Why mention Studio Profile during the wait?
Studio Profile helps future plugin-aware advice match the tools you use. The wait time is a practical moment to fill missing plugin categories without losing the analysis in progress.
