MasterCheck 2

Mix and master for the listener

MasterCheck 2 is the complete optimisation solution for today's delivery services, a plug-in providing the tools to make sure your music reaches the listener as intended. MasterCheck demonstrates the effects of loudness normalisation 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.

MasterCheck 2 (2026) is the first major update to MasterCheck since its original release in 2014, with new features including surround support (up to 7.1.4 channels), additional codec templates reflecting the expanded landscape of streaming services, and a resizeable interface with added landscape view.

The plug-in has been completely rewritten from the ground up to optimise compatibility with the latest DAWs and operating systems.
