Waves Audio has announced an upgrade to its Online Mastering service that they say delivers “enhanced clarity, tighter low end, pristine highs, and optimized loudness for digital platforms”.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“This latest update brings not only optimized mastering quality, but also reduced pricing. In addition to the updated AI sound engine, Waves has also streamlined the computing process powering its Online Mastering platform, resulting in even more affordable prices for customers.”
Waves says that the newly enhanced “Precise” mastering style has been fine-tuned for electronic music.
“The new Waves Online Mastering nails clarity, tightens the low end, and adjusts the level perfectly for DSPs so I don’t even have to think about it,” according to Grammy-award winning composer and producer Dave Audé (Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga).
