How it works

A free tool for musicians, producers and audio engineers. Play up to three versions of a WAV file in sync, switch between them without gaps and listen at matched loudness, for example master, mix and a loud bounce of the mix.

  • 3 versionsreference and two more
  • sample-accuratealigned automatically
  • LUFSloudness matched
  • localnothing is uploaded
  • All versions play at the same time, in sample-accurate sync. Switching uses a 5 ms crossfade, so there's no gap and no click.
  • The first row is the reference, and its timeline applies to all. Every other version is aligned to the reference waveform by cross-correlation, even if a master has a trimmed start or more pre-roll.
  • Inverted polarity, which can happen with analog mastering, is detected and corrected per channel.
  • Loudness: integrated loudness according to ITU-R BS.1770, measured over the range all versions have in common. Louder versions are turned down to match the quietest one. Nothing is ever turned up.
  • Your files never leave your computer. The tool runs entirely in your browser.
