Evermix has released a big update to its Evermix Pro app, and it delivers some of the features the company promised when it launched the Pro subscription in July: automatic tracklisting and in-app video clips, plus dual-camera recording.
When we reported on the Pro launch, those features were on a “coming soon” list, and we said to judge the subscription on what it did at the time. Now they’ve arrived.
We’ve followed Evermix for years. We reviewed the EvermixBox 4 back in 2020 and the EvermixBox5 last year, and back then the app was the weak spot – it worked, but the promised Pro version hadn’t arrived yet.

What’s new?
Automatic tracklisting listens through your recording, identifies the tracks and exports a full tracklist for Mixcloud, SoundCloud and YouTube.
Dual-camera recording uses your phone’s front and back cameras at the same time, so you can film yourself and the crowd in one go, with the audio coming straight from your mixer.
Social clips let you cut 15- to 45-second excerpts from a recording and add your own text and logo, ready for Instagram, TikTok and the like.
Evermix also says it has improved stability and performance across the board, and on Android in particular.
Do I need the hardware or not?
The EvermixBox is an audio interface, and that’s all it is. Its job is to get the audio from your mixer or controller into your phone. What you do with that audio once it’s there is up to you.
So you don’t need the Evermix app to use an EvermixBox – it works with your phone’s camera, streaming apps and so on. And you don’t need an EvermixBox to use the Evermix app, which works with other audio interfaces too. As we said in our review, a cheap Behringer interface will do the same basic job.
That has always been the case, but Evermix is now making a point of it, pitching Pro at DJs who don’t own its hardware. It would still recommend pairing the two, which you’d expect.

First Thoughts
Filming two angles with clean mixer audio, then cutting short clips for social media and posting a full tracklist with your mix, is a job DJs currently do across three or four different apps, so having it all in one place makes sense if you’re building an audience from your gigs.
If you already own an audio interface, there’s a 30-day free trial of Pro, so you can see whether it earns its monthly fee without buying anything.
- Evermix Pro version 5.10.0 is out now on the App Store. Basic recording is free, while Pro launched in July at £3 a month if you own Evermix hardware, £4 a month if you don’t, or £29 a year. The EvermixBox5 is $199 / £149 / €172. More info here.
