If you master a track to -6 LUFS and upload it to Spotify (which targets -14 LUFS), Spotify’s system will turn your track down by 8 dB. Because your track was heavily limited, it will lose its punch, transients, and emotional impact compared to a track mastered correctly at -14 LUFS with full dynamic range. MasterCheck Pro features a "Match" button that instantly applies the platform's attenuation to your monitor path, showing you exactly how your loud master compares to a dynamic master. Codec Headroom Control

It is designed for the music mastering and mixing engineer who wants to work with confidence and certainty, taking back control of the listener's experience. While its CPU demands mean you need a powerful system, the insight and control it provides are unparalleled.

MasterCheck is a specialized loudness metering and codec auditioning plugin designed to be the last processor on your master bus. As described by Sound On Sound, "the MasterCheck plug-in is dropped into the master bus of your DAW, after any mastering plug-ins, and provides comprehensive metering with true-peak displays, integrated and short-term loudness, and PLR or peak-to-loudness ratio".

Instantly compare your mastered audio with a reference track by matching their loudness, ensuring you are comparing quality rather than just volume. If you master a track to -6 LUFS

The flagship feature of MasterCheck Pro is its ability to process your audio in real-time through the exact lossy codecs (like AAC, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis) used by streaming services.

If your mix is too loud, the streaming platform's algorithm will turn it down, often introducing unwanted artifacts, flattening your transients, and killing the dynamic punch of your track.

But here’s the twist: MasterCheck Pro doesn't make you louder. It makes you smarter . It reveals how your mix collapses under lossy compression—or how it survives. It’s the difference between a hit that translates and a mix that only works in the studio.
