App: Mastering Tool

Genres: Music, Utilities

Mastering Tool is a standalone macOS® audio utility intended to audio content creators. It includes 3 essential & global real time modules for audio file treatment : « The Infinite Wheel », the « Beast Equalizer » and the « Master Limiter » (Developped with the Apple® AVAudioUnit technologies).

Most of the time during the audio or musical creation process, the designer focuses on sound under specific listening conditions (professional studio speakers) with a purely artistic goal. A good mix or recording generally does not exceed a certain sound level (-6dB RMS) even sometimes less (-15dB RMS). “Mastering Tool” is an audio utility software that helps to calibrate audio files for a professional sound closer to your maximum level (eg 0 dBFS, -10 dBFS, -16 LUFS,…).

BOOST YOUR SOUNDS WITH 3 GLOBAL REAL-TIME AUDIO MODULES :

- The “Infinite Wheel” module is an endless fader, which allows to reduce or increase the gain (level) from your original sound.
- The “Beast Equalizer” is a 66 bands equalizer with integrated relative linear spectrometer : used to correct and match as close as possible to the original sound after the change of the gain.
- The “Master Limiter” limits the sound level of your Master to not exceed your maximum goal level (eg. 0 dBFS, -10 dBFS,…).
