About MasterCheck
MasterCheck is the complete optimization solution for today’s delivery services, a plug-in providing the tools to make sure your music reaches the listener as intended. Streaming apps, download stores and podcasts all use data compression, loudness normalization or both. These processes can affect your track in undesirable ways: your loud, punchy mix could end up quiet and flat, or suffer clipping and distortion. MasterCheck reveals these problems ahead of time, and enables you to deliver masters perfectly tuned for specific playout systems. MasterCheck demonstrates the effects of loudness normalization so you can find the sweet spot between perceived loudness and dynamics, and allows you to hear artefacts introduced by the encoding process ahead of time. You can quickly find the point where these processes will start to negatively impact the music, putting you back in control.

TDR Nova
NOVA is a parallel dynamic equalizer. Appearing in the familiar layout of a parametric equalizer, each band also includes a full featured dynamics section allowing the processor to cover an impressively wide range of applications.

A user friendly WYSIWYG drag and drop display paired with a classic “knob” interface gives quick and smooth access to the various parameters driving NOVA’s powerful processing capabilities. With its four dynamic EQ bands and additional high-pass and low-pass filter sections, NOVA can meet the most exotic demand.

LuvLang.studio
LuvLang.studio is a browser-based audio mastering platform for independent musicians, producers and podcasters. Upload a mix and it runs through a measured mastering chain of up to 16 stages: EQ, multiband and bus compression, harmonic exciter, analog warmth, console emulation, M/S processing, stereo width and 4x oversampled true-peak limiting. You hear a full before/after A/B preview before you pay anything. Every master gets a real-time score across 10 categories that explains what to fix in the mix, plus ITU-R BS.1770-4 loudness metering, LRA and true peak. Choose a loudness target for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, Deezer, podcasts or vinyl-safe masters, then export WAV, FLAC, AAC or MP3 up to 32-bit/192 kHz. Studio adds stem separation, reference matching and album coherence. Pricing is pay-per-track from $14.99 with no subscription, and a mastering engineer option is available for hand-mastered releases.

TDR Limiter 6 GE
TDR Limiter 6 GE is a modern dynamics compression and limiting toolkit featuring six specialized modules that can be arranged in variable order. Together, they cover a remarkable range of applications from delicate loudness control, to brutal “brick-walling” and creative mix bus crunching. Each module offers dedicated control over different types of events, from macro to micro, and allows you to determine the signal path. Combined wisely they can greatly increase the perceived loudness of a mix while preserving superior musical fidelity, punch, and excitement. With its appealing visual aesthetic, the advanced true peak and EBU R128 compliant loudness metering section gives a detailed insight into the signal’s dynamics. The equal loudness bypass will also make sure the operators’ aural perception doesn’t get tricked by any loudness differences. A collection of sensible starting points allows for quick, yet precise loudness maximization.
