How to Master Your Track with AI

Mastering is the final step before distribution. It ensures your track sounds consistent across all playback systems and meets streaming platform loudness standards. ShiMuv's AI mastering handles this automatically.

Step 1: Export Your Mix

In the DAW, click Export and choose WAV (24-bit). This gives the mastering AI the most headroom to work with. Make sure your mix peaks around -3 to -6 dBFS — don't add a limiter on the master bus.

Step 2: Open AI Mastering

Go to AI Studio and select the Audio tab. Choose the AI Mastering model.

Step 3: Upload and Choose a Style

Upload your exported mix. Select a mastering style — options typically include Streaming (targets -14 LUFS for Spotify/Apple Music), Loud (club-ready), and Warm (vintage character). Click Master.

Step 4: Preview

Listen to the mastered version. A/B compare it with your original mix. The AI applies EQ, multiband compression, stereo widening and a transparent limiter. If you're not satisfied, try a different style.

Step 5: Download and Distribute

Download the mastered WAV file. It's now ready to upload to your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, etc.) and will sound professional on every platform.
