SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides professional audio mastering guidance and automation for streaming-ready music by analyzing WAV tracks for loudness, true peak, and tonal balance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Genre-aware mastering: applies genre presets and adjustments to meet streaming targets while preserving dynamics.
  • Override and presets: loads custom presets from ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml/mastering-presets.yaml and applies them when present.
  • Quality assurance: analyzes tracks, performs dry-runs, masters, and validates LUFS and true peak consistency across an album.

Quick Start

Master all WAV tracks in the folder to -14 LUFS and -1.0 dBTP, output to mastered/, and verify album consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions about mastering-engineer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I master WAV tracks to -14 LUFS for streaming platforms?▼

Master WAV tracks to -14 LUFS by processing an audio folder to apply genre-aware mastering presets, enforce true peak limits of -1.0 dBTP, and export validated files to a dedicated mastered/ subfolder.

Can I preview loudness adjustments before applying mastering changes?▼

Yes, you can perform a dry-run preview before applying mastering changes. The skill analyzes WAV tracks for loudness and tonal balance, letting you verify streaming target compliance without modifying the original files.

How do I ensure album-wide loudness consistency across multiple audio files?▼

Ensure album-wide consistency by analyzing and validating LUFS and true peak levels across all tracks in a folder. The mastering process applies uniform genre-aware targets to maintain cohesive dynamics throughout the album.

Does this mastering workflow support custom preset overrides?▼

Yes, custom mastering presets are supported. You can define overrides in the ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml/mastering-presets.yaml file, and the skill will automatically load and apply those custom settings when processing WAV files.

What's the best way to prepare audio for streaming loudness standards?▼

Prepare audio for streaming by analyzing WAV tracks for loudness, true peak, and tonal balance, then applying genre-aware presets that target -14 LUFS and -1.0 dBTP while preserving natural dynamics.

Why do my mastered tracks exceed streaming true peak limits?▼

Tracks exceed true peak limits when mastering does not enforce dBTP ceilings. This skill validates true peak consistency at -1.0 dBTP across an album and performs dry-runs to catch inter-sample peaks before final export.
