Start with Try Demo Song or one mix you want to master. Keep the original audio. Listen at a comfortable level, and compare the same passage after each change.

Hear a first mastering pass

  1. Load one song. Choose Try Demo Song to explore, or Import Audio for your own mix. Confirm the intended song is selected.

  2. Start with a preset. Choose Play Track and B Optimized. Select a preset and follow the Input Gain guide. Make small changes to the mastering controls while listening.

  3. Compare before and after. Switch to A Original, then back to B Optimized. Use Level Match for a closer loudness comparison instead of judging only which version is louder.
