BEATZUCKER AUDIO LAB

Compare your mix with a reference track

Compare two measured tracks across loudness, true peak, dynamics, stereo width and tonal energy, followed by contextual checks rather than automatic copying.

Two complete analyses
Level and tonal comparison
Guidance without automatic matching
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE, NOT A TEST RESULT

Your mix sounds duller than a released reference.

  1. Try this: Compare at matched loudness and listen to similar song sections. Check vocals and cymbals before boosting the entire high end.
  2. How to interpret it: A higher spectral centroid can reflect the arrangement. The numbers offer context, not a target curve to copy.

How it works

  1. Choose your track and reference
  2. Analyze both files sequentially
  3. Judge differences loudness-matched and in context

Frequently asked questions

Should my track match every reference value?

No. Arrangement, genre and intent determine the right result. References provide orientation, not a numeric template.

Why are tracks analyzed sequentially?

Sequential processing keeps the DSP service and memory stable for long files.

Does it copy the reference automatically?

No. It reports differences and never changes the audio.
