A plug-in for cross-platform mastering that simulates how streaming platforms’ loudness normalisation and codecs will affect your master.

MasterCheck 2 ensures your masters sound consistent across physical, digital and streaming platforms: audition how loudness normalisation will affect your track and preempt the impact of each codec, alongside industry-standard loudness and True Peak measurement. Using the Codec mode and Offset to match function, check your sound for Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Qobuz, Pandora and more. Integrated loudness, PLR, PSR and True Peak can be referenced at the mixing stage to avoid over-compression, and also serve as a demonstration for clients who believe that louder is better. With support up to 7.1.4, enough to receive a Dolby Atmos bed, plus resizable portrait and landscape views, MasterCheck fits into practically any layout and workflow.
