Karaoke

What is Karaoke?

Karaoke removes the lead vocal from a finished mix and keeps a performance-ready instrumental backing track. Use it for practice, live sets, karaoke nights, and sync pitches when you never had a vocal-less bounce.

Karaoke tool creating an instrumental backing track
  • Vocal removal from any stereo mix
  • Full instrumental mix saved to your Tools library
  • 20 Credits per successful file (flat, any length)
  • Preview is free - Credits are only used when you process the full file
How to create a karaoke track

Open the Standard Audio Tools suite and process in a few clicks.

  1. 1
    Go to Audio Tools → Karaoke, or open /studio/karaoke
  2. 2
    Upload WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF
  3. 3
    Preview the instrumental if offered, then process the full file
  4. 4
    Download from the Tools library when the job completes
When to use Karaoke vs Professional modules

Standard Karaoke is the fast, flat-credit path. Professional workflows add extras in one run.

  • Use Standard Karaoke when you only need an instrumental backing track
  • Use the Karaoke Pack workflow when you also want time-aligned lyrics
  • Use Isolate Vocals / Vocals + Accompaniment when you need both the vocal stem and the backing

A Capella

What is A Capella?

A Capella isolates a vocals-only track from a finished mix - for remixes, samples, vocal-up edits, and studying a performance when you never got a dry stem.

A Capella tool isolating vocals from a mix
  • Vocals-only export from any stereo mix
  • Remix-ready file saved to your Tools library
  • 20 Credits per successful file (flat, any length)
  • Preview is free - Credits are only used when you process the full file
How to isolate vocals

Same Standard Audio Tools flow as Karaoke, inverted.

  1. 1
    Go to Audio Tools → A Capella, or open /studio/acapella
  2. 2
    Upload your mix (WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF)
  3. 3
    Process the file and wait for the vocal stem
  4. 4
    Download from the Tools library, or send the result into a Professional module if you need cleanup or upsampling
When to use A Capella vs Professional modules

Pick the tool that matches the deliverable.

  • Use Standard A Capella for a quick vocals-only bounce
  • Use Isolate Vocals or Vocal Separation + Cleanup when you need a drier, de-reverbed vocal
  • Use Vocal Upsample 48 kHz after isolation if the take was recorded or bounced at a lower sample rate

Voice De-Noise

What is Voice De-Noise?

Voice De-Noise is a dedicated audio cleanup tool that removes unwanted noise, electrical hum, room tone, and sibilance from vocal and dialogue recordings. It preserves the natural character of the voice while dramatically improving clarity - ideal for any recording where the voice is the primary element.

Voice De-Noise controls for hiss, hum, and speech clarity
  • Noise reduction - tames background hiss, air conditioning, fans, and ambient room noise without affecting the voice itself
  • Hum removal - eliminates electrical buzz and ground-loop hum (50/60 Hz and harmonics) common in home studios
  • Speech clarity - brings intelligibility forward by gently shaping presence and reducing muddiness in the vocal range
  • De-esser - reduces harsh sibilance ('s' and 'sh' sounds) so vocals sit smoothly without brightness fatigue
  • Preview before processing - listen to the result before spending a credit; tweak parameters until you're happy
When to use Voice De-Noise

Voice De-Noise is designed for any recording where a human voice is the main focus.

  • Podcast episodes recorded in untreated rooms with noticeable background hiss or echo
  • Voiceover and narration takes that picked up air conditioning, computer fans, or street noise
  • Interview recordings from noisy environments (cafes, conventions, outdoor settings)
  • Vocal tracks for music where the recording has room noise or mic bleed from headphones
  • Field recordings of dialogue where wind or ambient sound competes with the speaker
  • Zoom/remote recordings with inconsistent mic quality across participants
How to use Voice De-Noise

Process a vocal or dialogue file in a few steps:

  1. 1
    Open Voice De-Noise from the Audio Tools menu or Library → Tools
  2. 2
    Upload your audio file (WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF)
  3. 3
    Adjust the noise reduction slider - start at medium and increase until background noise disappears without artifacts
  4. 4
    Toggle hum removal if you hear electrical buzz or low-frequency hum in the recording
  5. 5
    Increase speech clarity if the voice sounds muffled or lacks presence
  6. 6
    Use the de-esser if sibilant 's' or 'sh' sounds are harsh or distracting
  7. 7
    Hit preview to audition the result - no credit is used until you process the full file
  8. 8
    Click Process to run the full file; 20 Credits are used per successful run
Tips for best results

Get the cleanest output by following these practical guidelines.

  • Record at the highest sample rate your setup allows - de-noising preserves more detail on 48 kHz+ files
  • Start with gentle settings and increase gradually; heavy noise reduction can introduce watery artifacts
  • If the recording has multiple noise types (hiss + hum), address hum removal first, then layer noise reduction
  • Preview on headphones to catch subtle artifacts that speakers might mask
  • For music vocals, process the dry take before adding reverb or delay in your DAW for the cleanest chain
Credits

Voice De-Noise uses the same Credits pool as Stems and Audio Restoration.

  • 20 credits per successfully processed file (flat, any length)
  • Preview is always free - credits are only used when you process the full file
  • Free gets 300 Credits once; paid plans include monthly Credits - buy more anytime on Pricing

Audio Restoration

What is Audio Restoration?

Audio Restoration isolates and cleans up instrument recordings by reducing bleed, room noise, and unwanted resonances. Unlike Voice De-Noise (which targets speech), Audio Restoration is built for musical instruments - drums, bass, keys, guitars, and more - where you need the main source to stand on its own.

Audio Restoration for instrument tracks
  • Instrument / source type selection - choose drums, bass, keys, guitar, or other so the algorithm focuses on the right frequency ranges
  • Strength control - set how aggressively bleed and noise are removed; lower for subtle cleanup, higher for heavy isolation
  • Focus parameter - narrow or widen the spectral window the tool preserves around your chosen source
  • Preview before processing - audition the cleaned result without spending a credit
  • Same Credits pool as Stems and Voice De-Noise
When to use Audio Restoration

Audio Restoration shines whenever an instrument recording has unwanted sounds bleeding into it.

  • Drum overheads or room mics with excessive cymbal bleed into the snare/kick close mics
  • Bass DI tracks with amp bleed or fret noise that muddies the low end
  • Piano or keys recordings with pedal noise, bench creaks, or room reflections
  • Acoustic guitar takes with pick noise, body resonance, or room ambience
  • Live recordings where stage monitors or other instruments bleed into a mic
  • Stems extracted from a mix that still carry residual artifacts from other layers
How to use Audio Restoration

Clean up an instrument track in a few steps:

  1. 1
    Open Audio Restoration from the Audio Tools menu or Library → Tools
  2. 2
    Upload your audio file (WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF)
  3. 3
    Choose the instrument or source type that best matches your recording (e.g. drums, bass, keys, guitar)
  4. 4
    Set the strength - start at medium; increase only if bleed is still audible after preview
  5. 5
    Adjust focus to control how wide the preserved frequency window is around your source
  6. 6
    Preview the result on headphones to check for artifacts or over-processing
  7. 7
    Process the full file when ready; 20 Credits are used per successful run
Example workflows

Practical scenarios showing how Audio Restoration fits into a real session.

  • Drum cleanup: Run Audio Restoration on the snare close mic with source set to drums and medium strength to remove hi-hat bleed, then import the cleaned file back into your DAW for tighter gating
  • Bass isolation: Process a bass amp recording to remove kick drum bleed leaking through the floor, giving you a cleaner DI-like signal for re-amping or mixing
  • Live recording rescue: Take a keys track from a live set where the vocal monitor was bleeding in, restore it, and layer the clean keys back under the full mix
  • Stem polish: After generating stems in MixMaster Pro, run Audio Restoration on any stem that still carries residual artifacts for a cleaner remix or arrangement edit
Credits

Audio Restoration uses the same Credits pool as Stems and Voice De-Noise.

  • 20 credits per successfully processed file (flat, any length)
  • Preview is always free - credits are only used when you process the full file
  • Free gets 300 Credits once; paid plans include monthly Credits - buy more anytime on Pricing

Delivery Master

What is Delivery Master?

Delivery Master matches your mix to an optional reference and then applies streaming loudness for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or Tidal. It is an own-engine Standard tool - the same Credits pool as Stems and Karaoke, with no extra vendor.

  • Optional reference EQ match (octave-band tone matching)
  • Spotify (−14 LUFS), Apple Music (−16 LUFS), YouTube and Tidal (−14 LUFS) packs
  • 100 Credits per successful file (flat, any length)
  • Preview is free - Credits are only used when you process the full file
  • WAV master plus in-app AAC playback, saved to the Tools library
How to use Delivery Master

Open the Standard Audio Tools suite and process in a few clicks.

  1. 1
    Go to Audio Tools → Delivery Master, or open /studio/delivery-master
  2. 2
    Upload your mix (WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF)
  3. 3
    Optionally upload a commercial reference to match tone
  4. 4
    Pick a delivery target, preview 30 seconds for free, then process the full file
  5. 5
    Download from the Tools library when the job completes

Professional Audio Tools

What are Professional Audio Tools?

Professional modules are specialized processors you run from Audio Tools or the Workflow Builder. Unlike Standard tools (Stems, Karaoke, A Capella, Voice De-Noise, Restoration), each module is a focused job: isolate a piano, master to a reference, transcribe chords and lyrics, upsample a vocal, localize speech, and more. The full catalog is listed below - every module MixMaster Pro offers.

AI Audio Mastering style presets
  • 60+ modules across stem separation, mastering, mixing, transcription, enhancement, effects, classification, localization, encoding, and utilities
  • Open a single module from Audio Tools → Professional, or chain several in Workflow Builder
  • You always see a Credits quote and confirm before a job runs
  • Failed jobs refund Credits automatically

Workflow Builder

What is the Workflow Builder?

Workflow Builder is a visual canvas where you chain Professional modules into one job. Upload once, wire Input through any sequence of modules to Output, confirm the quote, and every result lands in your Tools library. Ready templates cover karaoke packs, remix prep, release mastering, live rescue, podcast cleanup, play-along practice, and more.

Workflow Builder canvas chaining professional audio modules
  • Drag modules onto the canvas and connect audio or data ports
  • One upload feeds the whole graph - no re-uploading between steps
  • Ready templates auto-wire common jobs; save your own graphs to My Workflows
  • Full Credits quote before you run; failed jobs refund
  • Available on every plan - jobs spend Credits from your shared balance
How to build and run a workflow

Three steps from blank canvas (or a template) to downloads.

  1. 1
    Open /studio/workflows. Pick a ready template or start empty with Input and Output on the canvas
  2. 2
    Add modules from the palette, connect ports (audio vs data), and set module parameters
  3. 3
    Upload your file on Input. Review the quote, confirm, and run once
  4. 4
    Stems and audio download from Library → Tools; chords, lyrics, beat maps, and transcripts open in synced viewers
  5. 5
    Save the graph to My Workflows to re-run it on the next song
How to pick a template

Start from a template when the job is a known pattern. Customize before you run.

Play-along practice workflow with instrument muting
  • Release Prep - master, encode an MP3, and pull genre/mood metadata
  • Karaoke Pack - instrumental backing plus time-aligned lyrics
  • Remix Prep Kit - four stems plus key, BPM, and beat grid
  • Song Blueprint - sections, chords, and aligned lyrics
  • Live Recording Rescue - trim silence, lift the vocal, then AI-master
  • Podcast Cleanup - trim, loudness, and a word-aligned transcript
  • Play-Along Practice - mute your instrument and get a chord sheet
  • The full template list is below this section
Workflow best practices

Keep graphs simple and quotes predictable.

  • Prefer a template, then delete modules you do not need - extra nodes add Credits
  • Check each module's ports: audio goes to audio, lyrics/chords go to data
  • For mastering, bounce a mix without a brickwall limiter first so the module has headroom
  • For karaoke or practice packs, upload the full song rather than a clip so lyrics and chords align
  • Save a named workflow per client or genre so you are not rebuilding the canvas every time

Ready workflow templates

Pre-wired graphs. Open one, confirm the Credits quote, and run it on a single upload.

Personal Mentor (Maya)

What is Personal Mentor?

Maya is your Personal Mentor inside MixMaster Pro - an AI music production coach that knows your mix, your analysis scores, your revision history, and your references. Unlike generic AI chat, Maya's answers are grounded in the specific audio you uploaded. She can help with mixing, mastering, composing, songwriting, lyrics, arrangement, music theory, sound design, and creative direction - essentially anything related to making music.

Maya Personal Mentor chat grounded in a mix analysis
  • Context-aware coaching tied to your analysis data, scores, checklist, and stems
  • Covers the full music production spectrum: mixing, mastering, composing, lyrics, songwriting, arrangement, music theory, sound design, and creative direction
  • Typed chat and voice conversation in any language

  • Understands your revision history and can compare versions
  • References your attached reference tracks for A/B comparison advice
How to use Maya (text)

Start a typed conversation with Maya from anywhere in the app.

  1. 1
    Open a saved mix from the Library (Continue Improving or View Report) - this binds your analysis to the chat so Maya knows your scores and checklist
  2. 2
    Type your question in the chat composer at the bottom of the Mentor panel
  3. 3
    Maya responds with actionable advice grounded in your analysis - frequencies, dB amounts, DAW steps, and creative suggestions
  4. 4
    Ask follow-ups: "what about the low end?", "how would I do that in Ableton?", "can you help me write a bridge for this track?"
  5. 5
    Upload a reference track or revision directly in chat for instant comparison feedback
How to use Maya (voice)

Talk to Maya like you would a studio partner - hands-free while you work in your DAW.

Talking to Maya with voice while mixing
  1. 1
    Tap the microphone icon in the Mentor chat panel
  2. 2
    Speak naturally in any language - Maya detects and replies in the same language
  3. 3
    Maya answers with spoken audio tied to your mix context, just like typed chat
  4. 4
    Use voice for quick questions while your hands are on the faders: "what should I fix first?", "is my low end too boomy?", "give me a chord progression idea in D minor"
  5. 5
    Switch between voice and text freely within the same conversation thread
What you can ask Maya

Maya covers the full music production journey, not just mixing. Here are examples of topics and questions.

  • Mixing: "My vocals feel buried - what EQ and compression moves should I try?"
  • Mastering: "Is this mix ready for mastering? What limiter settings would you suggest?"
  • Composing & arrangement: "The chorus feels flat - how can I build more energy in the arrangement?"
  • Songwriting & lyrics: "Help me write a second verse that follows the emotional arc of the first"
  • Music theory: "What chord substitution would add tension before the chorus resolves?"
  • Sound design: "How do I create a wide pad sound for the intro using a synth?"
  • Creative direction: "I want this track to feel like a late-night drive - what production choices reinforce that mood?"
  • DAW workflow: "How do I set up a parallel compression bus in Logic Pro for my drums?"
  • Reference comparison: "How does my low end compare to this reference track?"
  • Version feedback: "What improved between version 1 and version 2?"
Workflow examples

Practical ways to use Maya throughout your production process.

  • First analysis review: Upload your bounce, get the analysis, then ask Maya "walk me through the top three things I should fix" for a prioritized action plan
  • Mid-session check: Bounce a quick revision, upload it, and ask "did my EQ changes on the vocals improve clarity?" - Maya compares the new version against the original
  • Reference matching: Attach a reference track in chat and ask "how can I get my low end closer to this reference?" for specific frequency and processing suggestions
  • Lyric and composition help: Even without a bound mix, ask Maya for help writing lyrics, building chord progressions, or arranging sections
  • Pre-mastering checklist: On a high-scoring mix, ask "is this ready for mastering and what should I tell the mastering engineer?"
  • Learning: Ask Maya to explain any concept - "what is mid-side processing and when should I use it?" - and get a clear, practical answer
Plans

Mix-specific Maya coaching starts on Pro+. Free is platform assistance only. Studio and above (Studio / Studio+ / Teams) add Maya memory / style learning across sessions.

  • Pro+: mix-specific Personal Mentor (typed + voice within included minutes) with analysis context, revisions, reference A/B, and production coaching
  • Free: platform assistant mode - navigation, plans, and product help (10 min Maya voice once)
  • Studio / Studio+ / Teams: Maya memory / style learning on top of Pro+ coaching
  • Voice minutes: Free 10 once · Pro 15 · Studio 45 · Studio+ / Teams 120 per month, then 8 Credits/min if you continue

Client Revision Feedback

What is Client Revision Feedback?

Client Revision Feedback lets you collect structured, timestamped feedback from clients on your mixes - without giving them access to your MixMaster Pro dashboard. You share a private link and access code; the client opens a dedicated review page, listens on an interactive waveform, and leaves threaded comments pinned to specific moments in the audio. No account required on their end.

Client revision review page with waveform comments
  • Private review page with waveform playback - clients hear exactly what you bounced
  • Timestamped threaded comments pinned to specific moments in the audio
  • No MixMaster Pro account required for clients - just a link and a code
  • Share via Email, WhatsApp, Telegram, or copy the link manually
  • Attach new bounces to the same session so clients always hear the latest revision
  • Close reviews when the round is done - clients cannot add new comments after closure
How to start a client review session

Set up a review in under a minute.

  1. 1
    Open the mix analysis you want reviewed in your Library
  2. 2
    Click Send client review (or the client-review entry in the analysis UI)
  3. 3
    A modal opens - create a new session and copy the access code (shown once, so store it safely)
  4. 4
    Choose how to send the invite: Email, WhatsApp, or Telegram buttons generate a pre-filled message with the link and code; or copy the link and message to send however you prefer
  5. 5
    Your client opens the link, enters the access code, and lands on a private review page with waveform playback
How clients leave feedback

The client experience is simple and focused - no learning curve.

  1. 1
    Client opens the private link and enters the access code you shared
  2. 2
    They see the waveform and can play / scrub through the entire mix
  3. 3
    They click on a point in the waveform to pin a comment to that timestamp
  4. 4
    Comments are threaded - they can reply to existing threads or start new ones
  5. 5
    When they're done, they tap Finish review; you get notified in the app
Managing review sessions

Keep revision rounds organized without email chains or shared folders.

  1. 1
    Read client feedback in the Client Feedback tab on the analysis (insights row next to Action Items)
  2. 2
    When you bounce a new revision, attach it to the same review session from the modal so the client hears the latest mix without needing a new link
  3. 3
    If the session points at the wrong upload, switch it to the correct analysis from the same flow
  4. 4
    If your client loses the access code, open the modal and use Generate new code (copyable) - the new code is shown once
  5. 5
    Close the review from your side when the revision round is complete; clients cannot add new comments after closure
  6. 6
    Start a new session anytime for the next round of revisions
Example workflow

A typical client revision cycle using MixMaster Pro.

  • You finish a mix bounce, upload it to MixMaster Pro, and run analysis
  • From the analysis page, click Send client review and copy the link + code
  • Send the invite via WhatsApp to your client with one tap
  • The client listens, pins three comments: "vocals too quiet at 1:32", "love the drum fill at 2:15", "can we try less reverb on the bridge?"
  • You address the notes in your DAW, bounce a new version, and attach it to the same session
  • The client re-listens, confirms the changes, and taps Finish review
  • You close the session - everything is documented in the Client Feedback tab for your records
Plans & limits

Client Revisions is included on Studio+ (Studio / Studio+ / Teams). Teams can white-label the review page. See Pricing for current details.

  • Studio+: create client review sessions (fair use)
  • Clients never need a MixMaster Pro account or subscription
  • Each session has its own access code for privacy and security

Best Practices

The success loop

MixMaster Pro works best as a loop, not a one-shot score. Analyze, decide, change, and prove the change. That is how mixes actually get finished.

Waveform with timestamped mix issues
  1. 1
    Bounce a mix (not a mastered file) and upload New Analysis
  2. 2
    Read Action Items in priority order - fix the biggest problem first
  3. 3
    Ask Maya: "walk me through the top three things I should fix in my DAW"
  4. 4
    Make small moves (1–2 dB, one EQ band, one compressor change) and bounce a revision
  5. 5
    Upload the revision on the same mix (Pro+) and compare what improved
  6. 6
    Repeat until the score and your ears agree - then master or send to the client
Preparing Your Mix for Analysis

Get the most accurate feedback by following these guidelines:

  1. 1
    Export your mix at the highest quality (24-bit WAV preferred)
  2. 2
    Ensure your mix represents your final creative vision
  3. 3
    Don't apply limiting or mastering effects - we analyze the raw mix
  4. 4
    Leave 1–2 dB of peak headroom so true-peak and LUFS readings stay honest
  5. 5
    Include all elements you want feedback on
  6. 6
    Keep the original dynamics of your mix intact
Understanding Your Results

How to interpret and apply your analysis results:

  1. 1
    Start with the highest priority suggestions first
  2. 2
    Use the mix score as a technical guideline, not a quality judgment
  3. 3
    Consider your artistic vision - not all 'problems' need fixing
  4. 4
    Test recommendations in small increments
  5. 5
    Re-analyze after making changes to track improvement
  6. 6
    If Stem Insights flags a layer, solo that stem, then change level or EQ in the DAW - do not process the whole mix first
When to use which tool

Pick the shortest path to the file you actually need.

  • Mix still in progress → New Analysis + Maya + revisions. Do not master yet.
  • Need isolated parts to remix or rebalance → Standard Stems, or a Professional stem pack if you need kit/guitar splits
  • Need an instrumental or vocal-only file → Karaoke or A Capella
  • Podcast, VO, or noisy vocal → Voice De-Noise (or Speech Noise Suppression for dialogue-only)
  • Bleed on drums, bass, or guitars → Audio Restoration
  • Need a full song, lyrics, or instrumental demo → Generate Songs (describe it, or paste your lyrics)
  • Need a sound effect, riser, or ambience → Sound FX (describe it in a text prompt)
  • Need a voiceover or spoken take → Text to Speech
  • Need a delivery master → Audio Mastering or the Release Prep workflow
  • Need chords, lyrics, or a practice pack → Chords + Beat Map, Lyrics + Alignment, or a Workflow template
  • Several steps on one song → Workflow Builder so you upload once
Credits without waste

Credits are a shared pool. Spend them on jobs that move the song forward.

  • Always preview Standard tools when the UI offers it - preview is free
  • Read the Professional / Workflow quote before you confirm
  • Do not stack overlapping stem modules on the same file unless you need different packs
  • Free: 300 Credits once, then buy a pack or upgrade. Paid plans refill monthly.
  • Analyses past your included allowance also draw Credits (10 on paid, 50 on Free)
  • Failed jobs refund. If a result is wrong, do not immediately re-run the same graph - check the file and module settings first
Working with Maya

Maya is most useful when a mix is bound to the chat.

  • Open the mix from Library (Continue Improving / View Report) before you ask mix questions
  • Ask for one next action, not a 20-plugin chain: "what should I fix first on the vocal?"
  • After a revision, ask what improved instead of starting a new thread
  • Drop a reference in chat when you want A/B advice
  • Free chat is platform help only. Mix-specific coaching starts on Pro+
  • Voice is for hands-on DAW work; type when you need exact frequencies and settings to copy
Client delivery

Keep revision rounds out of email chains.

  1. 1
    Analyze the bounce, then send Client Revisions (Studio+) with the link and code
  2. 2
    Ask the client to pin comments on the waveform instead of writing timestamps in chat
  3. 3
    Bounce the next version, attach it to the same session, and close the round when they finish
  4. 4
    Use Maya to turn client notes into DAW steps if you want a translation from "vocals too quiet" to a gain/EQ move
Making the Most of Your Plan

Tips to maximize the value of your subscription:

  1. 1
    Upload different sections of long songs to stay within time limits
  2. 2
    Use version comparison to A/B test your changes
  3. 3
    Take advantage of DAW-specific recommendations
  4. 4
    Analyze different genres to learn mixing techniques
  5. 5
    Save Workflow templates you reuse (karaoke pack, release prep) so Credits quotes stay familiar
  6. 6
    Pin important mixes before retention windows if you need them forever (Pro+)

Troubleshooting

Upload Issues

Common solutions for file upload problems:

  1. 1
    Ensure file is under 100MB in size
  2. 2
    Check that format is WAV, MP3, FLAC, or AIFF
  3. 3
    Try refreshing the page and uploading again
  4. 4
    Check your internet connection stability
  5. 5
    Clear browser cache if uploads keep failing
Analysis Problems

What to do if your analysis fails or seems incorrect:

  1. 1
    Ensure your audio file isn't corrupted
  2. 2
    Try uploading a shorter version of the same track
  3. 3
    Check that your mix has actual audio content (not silence)
  4. 4
    Contact support if analysis consistently fails
  5. 5
    Verify your account plan allows the upload
Account & Billing

Managing your subscription and account:

  1. 1
    Check your current plan in Account Settings
  2. 2
    Use 'Manage Subscription' for billing changes
  3. 3
    Contact support for plan-related issues

  5. 5
    Downgrades take effect at next billing cycle

Parameter Explanations

LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale)

Measures the perceived loudness of your audio over time. This is the most important metric for ensuring your mix competes well on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, which normalize audio to a target LUFS level (usually around -14 LUFS).

Peak Level

The absolute highest level your audio signal reaches. A true peak level above 0 dBFS (decibels full scale) will cause digital clipping and distortion. It's good practice to leave some headroom, typically keeping peaks below -1.0 dBFS.

RMS (Root Mean Square)

Represents the average power or loudness of a section of audio. While LUFS measures perceived loudness, RMS gives a more general sense of the track's sustained energy. Higher RMS levels often mean a 'fuller' or more compressed sound.

Dynamic Range / LRA (Loudness Range)

LRA measures the variation between quiet and loud parts of your mix. Higher values indicate more dynamic music with greater contrast between sections. Modern pop typically has 4-7 LRA, while classical music can have 15+ LRA. Too low suggests over-compression.

DBFS (Decibels Full Scale)

A digital audio measurement where 0 dBFS is the maximum possible level before clipping occurs. All other levels are expressed as negative values (e.g., -6 dBFS). This is different from analog dB measurements and is crucial for digital audio production.

Stereo Separation (Technical)

Measures L/R energy differences and channel independence. High values often come from hard panning or wide effects and do not guarantee perceived spaciousness.

Perceived Width / Balance

Describes how wide the mix feels musically, based on center dominance versus side support and overall cohesion in the stereo field.

Dissonance

Measures the amount of harmonic tension or 'clashing' frequencies within your mix. While some dissonance is natural and adds character, excessive levels can make a mix sound muddy, harsh, or musically unpleasant.

BPM (Beats Per Minute)

The detected tempo of your track. This helps our AI understand the groove and energy of your music to provide more context-aware feedback, especially for rhythmic elements.

Duration

The total length of your audio track in minutes and seconds. This helps contextualize other metrics and ensures the analysis covers the complete song structure.

Sample Rate

The number of times per second that the audio is sampled to create the digital signal. Common sample rates are 44.1 kHz (CD quality) and 48 kHz (standard for video). A higher sample rate can capture more detail.

Chains (Processing Chains)

Refers to the sequence of audio processors (EQ, compressors, effects) applied to individual tracks or the mix bus. Our AI analyzes your mix and suggests optimal processor chains for vocals, drums, and mix bus to achieve professional results.

Phase Issues

Occur when left and right stereo channels cancel each other out, causing problems in mono playback and reducing stereo separation and perceived width. Phase problems can make your mix sound thin or hollow, especially on mono playback systems like smartphones.

Masking

Happens when frequencies from different instruments compete for the same sonic space, causing elements to lose clarity and definition. Our analysis identifies frequency ranges where masking occurs and suggests EQ adjustments to create separation.

Frequency Balance

Analyzes how energy is distributed across the frequency spectrum in your mix. A well-balanced mix has appropriate energy in sub-bass, bass, low-mids, presence, and high frequencies. Imbalances can make mixes sound muddy, harsh, or thin.

Transients

The initial attack portion of sounds like drum hits, plucked strings, or vocal consonants. Well-defined transients add punch and clarity to your mix. Transient analysis helps identify if your mix needs more or less punch in rhythmic elements.

Attack Time

In compression, this is how quickly the compressor responds to signal peaks. Fast attack times can tame harsh transients but may reduce punch, while slow attack times preserve transients but allow peaks through. Our analysis suggests optimal attack times for different sources.

Presence Bite

Refers to energy in the 2-6 kHz frequency range that makes vocals and lead instruments 'cut through' the mix. Proper presence ensures clarity and intelligibility without harshness. Too much creates fatigue; too little makes elements sound buried.

Onset Density

Measures how frequently new musical events (note onsets, hits, changes) occur in your track. Higher density indicates busier, more complex arrangements, while lower density suggests simpler, more spacious music. This affects mixing approach and processing choices.

PLR (Radio Friendly Meter)

A measurement that indicates how well your track will translate on radio and streaming platforms. It considers loudness, dynamic range, and frequency balance to predict commercial viability. Higher PLR scores suggest better broadcast compatibility.

DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)

Your music production software (Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, etc.). Our AI provides DAW-specific recommendations, suggesting exact plugin chains, settings, and workflows tailored to your particular software's strengths and available tools.

10.What is the difference between Voice De-Noise and Audio Restoration?

Voice De-Noise targets human voice recordings (podcasts, voiceover, vocals) and removes hiss, hum, and sibilance. Audio Restoration targets musical instruments (drums, bass, keys, guitar) and removes bleed, room noise, and resonances. Both cost 20 Credits and offer free preview.

11.What are Professional Audio Tools?

Professional modules are specialized jobs - mastering, deep stem packs, chords and lyrics, vocal upsample, voice transfer, localization, effects, and more. Open one module from Audio Tools → Professional, or chain several in Workflow Builder. You always see a Credits quote first (minimum 5 Credits). Failed jobs refund.

12.What is the Workflow Builder?

A visual canvas that chains Professional modules on one upload. Pick a ready template (Karaoke Pack, Remix Prep, Release Prep, Live Recording Rescue, Podcast Cleanup, and more) or drag modules onto a blank canvas. Confirm the quote, run once, and collect every output in Library → Tools.

13.How do I choose Standard tools vs a Professional workflow?

Use Standard Stems, Karaoke, A Capella, Voice De-Noise, or Restoration when you need one everyday deliverable at a flat credit price. Use a Professional module or Workflow template when you need a specialized result (AI master, chord sheet) or several steps from a single upload.

Yes. MixMaster Pro is a web app that works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or phone. No download required. Maya voice mode, audio playback, and all analysis features work on mobile.

15.Can I share or export results?

You can share a read-only mix score link for quick collaborator views. For listening-and-commenting workflows, use Client Revisions (Studio+) to send a private link so clients can leave timestamped feedback on the waveform.

16.What is the industry target score?

MixMaster Pro uses 90/100 as the industry target benchmark (pro standard). It appears next to averages in your Library. Use it to gauge how close your mixes are to professional release quality.
