Album mastering online — consistent loudness across all tracks
Upload your album or EP as one batch — up to 50 tracks. The loudest track is mastered exactly to the target loudness while the rest keep the levels you intended: interludes don't get inflated to single-level, and the album plays as one piece.
Master my album →Why one-track-at-a-time mastering breaks an album
Each track on its own is pulled to the target loudness independently. That's right for a single — and wrong for an album: a quiet piano interlude gets inflated to dance-single level, and your loudness dramaturgy disappears. Listeners feel it as "these tracks sound like different records".
How album mode works
- Upload all tracks as one batch — up to 10 files on the free tier, up to 50 on PRO. WAV, FLAC, MP3, AIFF; up to 800 MB total.
- Enable “Album mode” — one checkbox. The service pre-measures the loudness of every track and picks the anchor — the loudest one.
- Anchor on target, the rest follow — the anchor track is mastered exactly to the target LUFS; the others keep their original relative levels (up to −8 LU down).
- Download as they finish — tracks are processed as a batch and arrive one by one; no need to wait for the whole album.
Who needs this
- An album or EP before release — tracks recorded on different days sound uneven; album mode brings them to a common level in one pass.
- Compilations and labels — tracks by different artists from different studios; the anchor algorithm aligns loudness without crushing the quiet ones.
- Podcasts and audio series — a season of episodes at the same loudness: listeners don't reach for the volume knob between episodes.
- DJ sets and mixtapes — back-to-back tracks without loudness jumps at the seams.
Questions and answers
How is album mode different from mastering tracks one by one?
One by one, each track is pulled to the target loudness independently — and a quiet interlude gets inflated to single-level, destroying the album's dynamics. In album mode the service pre-measures all tracks: the loudest is mastered exactly to the target LUFS, the rest keep their original relative levels (up to −8 LU). The album plays as one piece.
How many tracks can I upload at once?
Up to 10 tracks per batch on the free tier and up to 50 on PRO and Studio — enough for a double album. Total batch size — up to 800 MB. Formats: WAV, FLAC, MP3, AIFF.
How much does album mastering cost?
Same as regular mastering: basic processing within your tier limits, PRO modules — 1 token per track. A 10-track album with PRO processing is 10 tokens; in bundles a token costs from —. There is no extra charge for album mode.
What does album mode NOT do?
It aligns loudness between tracks, but doesn't edit gaps or crossfade between them, doesn't match tracks to one tonality (that's reference mastering), and doesn't change their order. One preset and one loudness target for the whole batch — that's what keeps the album coherent.
Does it work for EPs and label compilations?
Yes, the mechanics are the same: a 4–6 track EP, a full album, or a various-artists compilation. Album mode is especially useful for compilations — tracks from different sessions arrive at different loudness, and the anchor algorithm brings them to a common level without over-compressing the quiet ones.
