Master your track. Compare the result. Refine the sound.
Start with mastering that adapts to your track’s balance and dynamics. Compare the original and master, then refine the result with EASY or DETAIL controls.
- A/B the original and master
- Refine with EASY and DETAIL
- Check loudness and True Peak before saving
Analyze, adjust and compare
Processing that responds to your track
Track analysis informs EQ, compression and limiting. Listen to the automatic master as a starting point.

- Analysis: loudness, peaks and balance
- Integrated LUFS describes programme loudness; RMS describes average signal level. Peak, True Peak, Crest Factor, Dynamic Range and band balance help guide processing. Measurements are useful checks, not a score for sound quality.
- Processing: tone → dynamics → peaks
- EQ shapes frequency balance, compression adjusts dynamics and density, and limiting controls output peaks. Track analysis and the selected preset guide the processing strength; some stages may be reduced or bypassed.
- Adaptive EQ: a balance guided by your track
- Analysis of bass energy, low-mid density, vocal-range mids and upper-frequency energy guides the EQ corrections. Instead of applying one fixed curve to every track, the adjustments respond to the source balance and preset. Compare with the original before deciding on the final tone.
- Resonance control: managing sustained band energy
- Where analysis detects excessive or sustained energy, the processing can ease the affected bands. Low-band control is designed to distinguish short kick onsets from sustained bass, with processing strengths coordinated to avoid stacking corrections.
- Saturation: subtle harmonics and texture
- Where the processing route and preset allow, a small amount of nonlinear colour is blended in to add harmonics and tonal density. Warm / Analog can use this texture; already-compressed or harsh sources may receive less additional colour or none.
- Presets and adaptive Loud
- Natural favours natural balance, Warm / Analog a warmer texture, and Loud forward energy and level. Loud adapts its processing strength to loudness, dynamics and bass content. Compare with the original and refine with EASY or DETAIL.
- EASY and DETAIL: two views of the same adjustments
- The simplified EASY controls and the detailed DETAIL controls are linked. Refine tone and dynamics from the automatic result, then switch between the original and the result to check your choices.
- Reference EQ: a guide for tonal direction
- Add a reference and choose Light, Balanced or Strong. Use the reference’s frequency balance to guide the tone of your track.

From music professionals
I like the approach of analyzing a track’s character first instead of applying the same settings to every song. Each piece of music needs a different finishing touch.
Once a track is finished, you want to put the final touches on its sound. I like being able to start mastering without complicated preparation, listen alongside the original, and choose the result I want.
I like being able to get straight to work without installing new software. Finishing your music doesn’t need to be complicated.
