Introducing: MasterCheck Pro
The 2017 NAMM Show will mark the U.S. debut of MasterCheck Pro, NUGEN Audio's new loudness, dynamics, and codec auditioner for music professionals. Consumer demand for music from streaming apps, download stores, websites, and podcasts has never been higher. These services all use data compression, loudness matching, or both.
"Data compression and loudness matching can affect mixes in various unforeseen ways," said Jon Schorah, Creative Director, NUGEN Audio. "At NAMM this year, we'll be showing how MasterCheck Pro gives the control of the listening experience back to producers, letting them mix to each streaming service's criteria. They can identify problems ahead of time and optimize their mixes, resulting in music that reaches the listener sounding exactly as originally intended."
MasterCheck Pro lets producers hear and visualize what music streaming services will do with their mix ahead of time including the playout encoding and loudness matching now in use by Spotify, Apple Music®, YouTube, Digital Radio, and many others.
Loudness matching is increasingly being used by streaming services to automatically even out the average playback level for each track. With MasterCheck Pro, producers can instantly hear how their tracks are affected by loudness matching on different devices and services. Innovative meters show loudness and peak-to-loudness ratio (PLR or dynamic range). The actual level changes applied by each streaming service can be auditioned. Industry-standard true-peak metering ensures the mix is within the delivery spec and guarantees the music won't be clipped at later encoding stages.
MasterCheck Pro is designed for both mix and mastering engineers, giving them the ability to preview the mix in real time through different encoding schemes and quality settings and helping them avoid distortion, over-compression, or wasted headroom. The result is masters that are perfectly prepared for each service.
