Three plug-ins for mastering for today’s playout technologies, combining streaming service auditioning, True Peak limiting and a full suite of audio analysis tools.

Streaming apps, download stores, websites and podcasts all use data compression, loudness matching or both, which can leave a loud, punchy mix sounding quiet and flat or introduce clipping and distortion. MasterCheck reveals such problems ahead of time, detects potential codec distortion and lets you compare loudness and dynamics directly with reference material. ISLst on the master bus prevents the distortion that downstream codecs such as MP3 or AAC would otherwise introduce through inter-sample peaks. Visualizer adds a standardised reference set of professional analysis tools, for example for stereo placement, phase and correlation, low-end control and fundamental frequencies.
