Profiles

Profiles are one of the most effective ways to expand the versatility of your Mixlar Mix.
They allow you to save complete mixer configurations — including slider assignments, volumes, mute states, and colors.
This makes it easy to switch between entirely different workflows without rebuilding your setup each time.

​
Why use profiles?

You can create an unlimited number of profiles to keep different workflows organized.
Common examples include:
  • Gaming
  • Productivity
  • Streaming
  • Music or MIDI setups
Each profile stores its own slider configuration, bindings, and mute states, allowing the Mixlar Mix to adapt instantly to whatever you’re doing.

​
Creating a new profile

  1. Open Profiles in the left sidebar.
  2. Enter a name (for example: Gaming, Work, Streaming).
  3. Click Save Profile.
Your current configuration is now stored as a reusable profile.

​
Switching profiles

You can switch profiles in two different ways.

​
1. Using the profile dropdown (title bar)

Mixlar Control displays a profile selector in the title bar when enabled. Select a profile from the dropdown to load it instantly.

​
2. Using macro buttons

Macro buttons (if available) can be configured to:
  • Switch to a specific profile
  • Move to the next or previous profile
  • Open the profile menu
This is especially useful during streaming or gaming, where fast switching matters.

​
Volume behavior when switching

The Mixlar Mix is designed to prevent sudden volume jumps when switching profiles.
  • When you load a new profile, your PC’s current audio levels remain unchanged.
  • Audio does not snap to the slider’s saved position.
  • The volume only updates once you move the physical slider.
This is ideal for maintaining smooth transitions between tasks without unexpected changes in volume.

​
Profile visibility

Each profile includes a Visible toggle.
  • On – The profile appears in the profile dropdown.
  • Off – The profile is hidden but still saved.
This helps you keep your workspace uncluttered while maintaining backup or specialized profiles.

​
Managing profiles

Within the Profiles page, you can:
  • Load a profile
  • Delete a profile
  • Hide or show profiles in the selector
Everything updates instantly and safely.

​
Tips for using profiles effectively

Use descriptive names

Clear names like “Gaming”, “Meetings”, or “Music” make it easy to find the right profile quickly.

Color-code per profile

Use different slider colors in each profile to visually separate gaming, streaming, and work layouts.

Create a base profile

Save a simple baseline profile, then duplicate it before making changes for more advanced setups.
