What the comparison shows you

Tonal Balance Comparison

See a frequency-by-frequency breakdown of how your mix stacks up against your reference - where your lows are too heavy, your mids are scooped, or your highs are lacking air.

Loudness & Dynamics Gap

Compare integrated LUFS, true peak, and dynamic range side by side. Know exactly how much headroom you need to reclaim and where your mix is being over-compressed.

Stereo Width Matching

Analyze mid/side energy against your reference to understand why commercial tracks feel wider and more three-dimensional - and what you need to change to close that gap.
