Mastering

A mastering console inside your library

Open any track, shape it, check the loudness, and save. The mastered file becomes the one everyone hears, and the file you started with stays one click away.

Included with Professional and Business.

How it works

Four steps, no exporting

  1. Load

    Pick a track from your library. Nothing to download or drag in.

  2. Shape

    Every control works live while the track plays, with bypass to hear the difference.

  3. Analyze

    Measure loudness and true peak before and after your settings, across the whole track.

  4. Save

    The mastered file becomes the current version. The original stays in Versions.

The chain

In the order the sound goes through it

01

Highpass filter

Clears rumble and sub energy you can't hear but your limiter can.

  • 10 Hz to 300 Hz
  • On or off
02

Parametric EQ A and B

Two bells for surgical cuts or broad lifts, each with its own gain, frequency and width.

  • ±12 dB
  • 20 Hz to 20 kHz
  • Q 0.1 to 10
03

Sub-bass and tone

Broad strokes: sub-bass at 50 Hz, then low, mid, high and air shelves for the overall balance.

  • 50 Hz
  • 120 Hz
  • 2.5 kHz
  • 8.5 kHz
  • 16 kHz
  • ±12 dB each
04

Multiband dynamics

Three bands controlled separately, so a heavy kick doesn't pull the vocals down with it.

  • Split at 200 Hz and 3 kHz
  • Low, Med or High
  • Tight, Default or Transparent attack
  • Fast, Default or Slow release
05

Stereo width

Narrow a busy mix toward mono or open it up, without touching the centre.

  • 0 to 200%
06

Master volume

Brings the whole master up or down before the limiter.

  • ±12 dB
07

True peak limiter

Soft, Hard or Dual. The hard stage looks 1.5 ms ahead and checks between samples, so peaks stay under your ceiling after conversion to MP3 or AAC.

  • Soft threshold −12 to 0 dB
  • Release 10 to 500 ms
  • Ceiling −6 to 0 dBTP

Made for decisions

Try ideas side by side

Keep six sets of settings at once and flip between them while the track plays. Save a set you like as a preset and use it on the next track.

  • Memories A to F, on keys 1 to 6, with copy and paste between them
  • Bypass on the B key, to hear the track untouched
  • Analyze tells you where the master sits for streaming and for clubs
  • What you hear is exactly what gets saved: the same chain renders the file
  • Save, then drag the master straight into your DAW, tagged and named

Mastering questions

Is it automatic?

No. You set every control yourself and hear each change as you make it. Analyze measures the result, but it never changes your settings.

Will it overwrite my original?

No. Saving adds a new version and makes it current. The file you started with stays in Versions, and you can switch back at any time.

Which files can I master?

WAV, FLAC and MP3 open in every modern browser. AIFF opens in Safari.

Which plans include mastering?

Professional and Business. Every new workspace can try it free during the 14-day trial.
