###### (This function is part of SDL_mixer, a separate library from SDL.)
# MIX_Mixer

An opaque object that represents a mixer.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/blob/main/include/SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h)

## Syntax

```c
typedef struct MIX_Mixer MIX_Mixer;
```

## Remarks

The [MIX_Mixer](MIX_Mixer) is the toplevel object for this library. To use
SDL_mixer, you must have at least one, but are allowed to have several.
Each mixer is responsible for generating a single output stream of mixed
audio, usually to an audio device for realtime playback.

Mixers are either created to feed an audio device (through
[MIX_CreateMixerDevice](MIX_CreateMixerDevice)()), or to generate audio to
a buffer in memory, where it can be used for anything (through
[MIX_CreateMixer](MIX_CreateMixer)()).

## Version

This datatype is available since SDL_mixer 3.0.0.
