Reference Mastering
Make your mix sound like the track you love
Upload your mix and a reference. We match its loudness, tone and stereo width, then play you a free 30-second before/after. Unlock the full master for 1 credit.
Hear it
Ten genres, mastered with this tool
Demo songs generated with Google Lyria. Each mix was turned down to mix level (−9 dB, nothing else touched), then mastered here against a reference song of the same genre.

WAV, FLAC or AIFF for best results · up to 10 min / 200 MB
Export it without a limiter, peaking below 0 dBFS. We'll tell you if it's clipping.
Drop a track you want to sound like
A finished song in the same style. MP3 is fine.
Analysed for loudness, tone and width only. Deleted the moment the master is done.
We'll match your mix to a reference track we produced in that style. Upload your own reference to clear it.
Free 30-second A/B first. 1 credit only when you unlock the full master.

Done
Your 30-second A/B
Same 30 seconds of your song, before and after, on one scale: taller bars mean louder. Turn on "Match loudness" to compare tone without the volume jump.

Unlocked. Your masters are ready.
How it works
01
Pick a reference
A finished song whose sound you want: same genre, same energy. Commercial releases work well because they are already mastered. No reference? Pick one of our ten styles.
02
We measure and match
Loudness, frequency balance, peak level and stereo width of the reference are measured, and your mix is adjusted to match them. Then a limiter brings it to release level.
03
Hear it, then decide
A 30-second before/after of your own song, free. Unlock to download the 16-bit and 24-bit WAV masters. Not convinced? Do nothing and your credit comes back.
Questions
Is this AI mastering?
No. Reference Mastering is signal processing: it measures the reference and matches your mix to it, then limits. There is no model guessing what your song should sound like and no genre presets. You choose the reference, so you choose the sound.
I don't have a reference track. Can I still master?
Yes. Pick one of the ten reference styles and we match your mix to a reference track we produced in that style (the same songs you can hear in the demo above). Matching to your own reference is usually closer to what you want, because you chose it; the styles are there for when you have nothing to hand.
What should my mix look like?
A stereo WAV, FLAC or AIFF with no limiter on the master bus, peaking around −3 to −6 dBFS. MP3 works, but a lossless file masters better. Up to 10 minutes and 200 MB.
What happens to the reference track?
It is analysed for its loudness, tone and width and deleted the moment processing finishes. Nothing from it ends up in your master, and we never store or share it.
What do I get, and for how long?
A 16-bit WAV for distribution and a 24-bit WAV for further work, both 44.1 kHz. Downloads stay available for 7 days, then the files are deleted.
How is the credit taken?
The credit is held when the job starts and only taken when you unlock the full master. If you never unlock, the hold is released after 24 hours. A failed job always returns the credit.
