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.
