Mastering Tool

Mastering Tool is a standalone macOS® audio utility designed for audio content creators. It features four essential and global effective manual modules for audio file processing: the « Infinite Wheel », the « Beast Equalizer », the « Magic Clipper » and the « Master Limiter ». These modules leverage Apple® AVAudioUnit technology. Most of the time, during the audio or music creation process, the designer focuses on the sound under specific listening conditions (professional studio monitors) with a purely artistic goal. A good mix or recording tends to maintain a limited sound level, usually not exceeding a certain threshold such as -6 dB RMS, and sometimes even lower, reaching possibly -15 dB RMS. The « Mastering Tool » application provides the ability to manually calibrate your audio files to achieve a professional sound output aligned closely with your desired maximum level (for example, 0 dBFS, -10 dBFS, -16 LUFS, etc.). 4 GLOBAL AUDIO MODULES : « THE INFINITE WHEEL » - The “Infinite Wheel” module is an endless fader, which allows to increase or reduce the gain (level). « BEAST EQUALIZER » The « Beast Equaliser » is a 66-band graphic manual equaliser featuring an integrated relative linear spectrometer. This allows you to correct and match your desired sound as closely as possible. « MAGIC CLIPPER» The "Magic Clipper" module is a manual Clipper that acts instantly cutting the peaks, effective on transients, allows you to gain level without increasing the « true peak ». « MASTER LIMITER » - The “Master Limiter” limits the sound level of your Master to not exceed your maximum goal level.
