Description

For mixing and mastering, for stereo and surround. To some extent, loudness and cross-platform optimisation is primarily a concern for the mastering engineer, not the mixer, artist or producer. But if a mix is too hot or over-compressed then there is nowhere further to go! So it makes sense to reference Integrated loudness, PLR, PSR and True Peak even at the mixing stage. Plus, MasterCheck can be a great demonstration tool for those clients who might still believe that “louder is better” no matter what.

MasterCheck supports up to 7.1.4 channels, enough to receive a Dolby Atmos bed, or other immersive, 3D and surround audio formats. The resizeable portrait and landscape views mean that MasterCheck can fit neatly into practically any layout and workflow, regardless of on-screen real estate.

Features

• Apple Music
• Tidal
• YouTube
• Soundcloud

And more, using the Codec mode and Offset to match function.
