AURIUM mastering

A mastering console on the master out.

Input, a ten band EQ with a spectrogram, dynamics with five saturation modes, tone, stereo and an output limiter that never clips. Normalize to a loudness target, match the gain, compare four snapshots and let the mix check tell you what is off.

  • Loudness targets for every service
  • Four snapshots, A to D
  • A mix check that names the problem

Live sessions

Let them hear it now, not after the bounce.

Start a session and send the link. Your artist opens it in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and hears your mix as you work: the tracks, the playhead, the fader moves. They chat with you and leave notes at a moment in the song, which land as markers in your project.

  • Nothing to install for listeners
  • Chat both ways
  • Notes land as markers
