Mixlab: Browser‑Based Loop‑Stacking Tool for Teens

Mixlab is a web app that lets teenagers (13‑17) create and share loop‑based tracks directly in the browser. The interface consists of LED‑lit pads that control four synthesis channels – beats, bass, melody, and FX – and all sounds are generated by a Web Audio engine, so no audio files are required and it works offline on school Chromebooks.

Users can choose from free genre packs such as phonk, lo‑fi, and hyperpop, while drill, glitchcore are sold as one‑time in‑app purchases and vaporwave is available early for Pro subscribers. A stack is published to a public feed where friends can play the track, like it, leave AI‑moderated comments, and fork it to create remix trees that retain automatic credit.

An AI co‑producer suggests loop swaps to help users iterate. A $7.99 /mo Pro tier unlocks unlimited drops and remixes, client‑side WAV export, and early access to premium packs. The visual design mimics analog glitch aesthetics with charcoal graph paper, neon‑green LEDs, VU meters, cassette dividers, and a glitching wordmark.
