Plugins that teach you to mix.
Locke Sonics makes tools for producers who are still learning. They listen to your music while you work and tell you, in plain English, what they hear and what to do about it.
One plugin, done properly.
A mix coach that sits on your master channel. It measures your frequency balance, loudness, dynamics and stereo width in real time, then explains what's wrong and how to fix it, with a button to hear each fix before you commit. Load a song you love as a reference and Focal shows you how to get your mix closer to it.

What we believe about learning to mix.
Listen to the audio, not the session.
Our tools analyze the sound actually coming out of your mix, not your track names or plugin list. The feedback is about what your listeners will hear.
Explain the why, every time.
Every suggestion comes with the reason behind it and what to listen for, so you learn the principle and can spot the problem yourself next time.
You get better, not just this mix.
Focal notices the mistakes you repeat across projects and tells you what to work on next, so every song you finish teaches you something.
Music made by people is irreplaceable. We build tools that make producers better, not tools that make music for them.—The Locke Sonics promise
