What you can use it for

Master audio tracks by matching RMS levels, mid/side FIR EQ, and limiting against a reference track.

  • Automated reference-based audio mastering with mid/side FIR EQ and brickwall limiter.
  • No account, usage caps, or commercial lock-in; runs locally.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Automated reference-based audio mastering via local Python script or Docker container without SoundBoost.ai mastering credits or monthly subscription. Requires a reference track.

Before you switch

Requires a reference track, local Python or Docker, and your own compute. Tested with synthetic audio only; mastering quality on real music was not assessed by ear.
