NUGEN Audio MasterCheck Pro V1.7.0.1 – Review & Guide
NUGEN Audio’s MasterCheck Pro is a loudness- and format-aware mastering tool designed to help engineers prepare mixes for modern streaming platforms and broadcast. Version 1.7.0.1 continues that focus with workflow refinements, expanded format targets, and meter accuracy that helps you hear and deliver masters that translate well across services.
Tips for best results
- Use integrated LUFS rather than peak meters to set perceived loudness for streaming.
- Keep true peaks below platform recommendations (commonly -1 dBTP or lower) to avoid inter-sample clipping.
- Prefer gentle limiting and minor level tweaks over heavy brickwall limiting; listen with encoder simulation engaged.
- Use the reference A/B to ensure your perceived loudness and tonal balance remain consistent after normalization.
- Batch-analyze releases (single, album) to ensure consistent loudness across tracks.
Key features
- Real-time loudness metering (LUFS) with short-term, momentary, and integrated readings.
- True peak metering to prevent inter-sample clipping on lossy streaming encoders.
- Platform presets for major streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc.) including recommended loudness targets and true-peak limits.
- Encoding simulation that predicts how a track will behave after common lossy encoders (AAC, MP3).
- Integrated reference section for A/B listening and level-matched comparisons.
- Gain and dynamics preview to audition how limiting or level changes affect perceived loudness and dynamic balance.
- Batch processing and offline analysis for checking multiple files.
- Clear, exportable reports for client delivery or archive.
What's new (v1.7.0.1) — summary
- Updated platform presets and loudness targets to reflect recent streaming normalization practices.
- Improved encoder simulation accuracy for modern AAC/MP3 encoders.
- Minor UI improvements for easier preset and session management.
- Bug fixes and performance/stability improvements across Windows and macOS.
