Moises’ AI Mastering Tool: Easily Master Songs with Auto, Advanced, or Reference Mode

Audio excellence is no longer out of reach for those who lack technical skills or resources. With an AI mastering tool as an option, the last step before music distribution becomes much more accessible.

Mastering used to depend entirely on an audio engineer's expertise and craft. Today, however, due to several breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, mastering has never been more accessible. An unprecedented number of artists, producers, and even audio engineers are taking advantage of its evolution.

While mastering engineers should always have their place in studios, Moises AI empowers even newcomers. Promptly optimizing audio files for different channels fuels a more dynamic musical scene.

Let’s explore post-production, the game-changing role of AI in this process, and how Moises makes mastering simple and stress-free.

Why is mastering important?

While mixing is about blending individual tracks to create a balanced sound, mastering takes it a step further. Think of mixing like baking a cake: you get your ingredients right and make sure it’s all cooked. Mastering is like frosting the cake, arranging the slices nicely on a plate, and serving it.

This procedure is the last quality checkpoint. It catches any technical issues or inconsistencies before the music goes public.

Consistency across sound systems

Mastering ensures that your music sounds consistent across various playback devices. It involves balancing the frequencies to make the sound smooth and cohesive to listen to.

Optimizing distribution and loudness for different platforms

Mastering also secures consistency across audio sequences (like a playlist) as well as entire platforms.

For instance, some videos on YouTube may sound very low in volume, while others can seem too loud. But well-mastered tracks won’t sound way quieter or louder than others.

Enhancing the polish and emotional impact of music

When you master a track, you add subtle enhancements. These tweaks can bring out the best aspects of your music and improve its emotional depth.

What is an AI mastering tool?

An AI mastering tool is software or an online service that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the audio mastering process. It analyzes your track, looking at elements like frequency distribution, dynamics, and loudness. Then, it makes processing decisions like EQ adjustments, compression, and limiting.

AI mastering with Moises: Streamline your workflow

Moises offers three AI mastering modes: Auto, Advanced, and Reference. Each mode caters to different user needs, making your tracks sound professional and polished.

Auto Mode

Auto Mode is perfect for those who want quick and hassle-free mastering. This mode takes care of all the technical details by automatically setting volumes, and other presets, like low and high cut frequencies, without requiring any user input.

Here are some benefits of Auto Mode:

• Automatic volume and preset adjustments: Auto Mode handles everything from volume levels to frequency cuts, ensuring your track sounds balanced and polished with minimal effort.
• Target loudness refinement: After the initial mastering, you can easily adjust the target loudness to meet specific needs, such as preparing your track for different platforms or personal preferences.

Advanced Mode

This option is designed for those who want more control over the mastering process. It provides options to fine-tune various aspects of your track, making it perfect for professionals or anyone looking to get precise results.

Here are some key features of Advanced Mode:

• Target loudness: this ensures your track reaches the perfect volume without any distortion, making it sound just as powerful and polished as other professional tracks.
• Ceiling (dBFS): sets the maximum output level to prevent clipping and distortion, keeping your audio clean and clear.
• Mastering intensity: allows you to adjust how much the sound is enhanced by the AI. You can choose subtle tweaks or more significant changes based on your preference.
• Low cut frequency: removes unwanted low frequencies, cleaning up your mix and making it sound less muddy.
• High cut frequency: cuts out harsh high frequencies, ensuring a smooth and pleasant sound.

Reference Mode

Reference mastering uses another track as a reference to match volumes and levels, making it accessible for users with no professional expertise. This is the perfect final touch for your cover versions, for instance, making them sound similar to the original song.

The process is straightforward. On the Desktop App or Web App, upload two tracks:

1. The one you want to master;
2. The one you want to use as a reference.

Advanced settings

If you want, you can make adjustments in the Preferences section, like switching the limiter on or off. If you leave it on, you can change the perceived loudness (iLUFS) to fit specific standards, like Spotify’s or SoundCloud’s.

Moises also lets you customize bit depth. This alters the dynamic range, which is the spectrum from the audio’s quietest volume to the loudest. Here, you can choose from three options:

• 16-bit (standard for CD audio);
• 24-bit (standard for recording, mixing, streaming, and downloading);
• 32-bit, or float (mostly used as an internal processing format within DAWs.

Swift toggle between previews

Once your new version is ready, Moises lets you compare the new and old versions easily. Just click on them to switch between tracks without pausing.

Export functionality

Premium subscribers can only export tracks that have been mastered with the Reference Mode. Pro subscribers, on the other hand, can export any mastered version in WAV, FLAC, and MP3 formats, whether they use the Auto, Advanced, or Reference mode.

Users can also select bit depth and sample rates for their exports, ensuring studio-quality results suitable for distribution.
