#Aams mastering manual software#
What's nice about this software is that you don't have to use it to actually do your mastering, but rather to perform an analysis, let it report what it thinks you need to do, and then do it yourself. All in all, perfectly acceptable results, using only default options. The overall song dynamics were preserved and the bass wasn't hyped. The auto-mastered version was a little louder (-14.5 ave. A/Bing the original and AAMS versions, there wasn't a huge difference between them. Like LANDR, you can't specify a LUFS target.
The good news is that AAMS chose very subtle changes, which is what you'd hope for on an already-mastered file. Then I was given a report that compared my master against a generic "progressive rock" reference (one of 700 references provided) and multiple reports showing what it had done. When I looked in the folder, it had left me 3 versions of the file: MP3 (192 kb/s), 16-bit and 32-bit.
This took awhile, but I now see why. It included a "conversion" step, saying it was converting it to a 32-bit file (from what? I thought.the source file was already 32 bits). I meant to just let it analyzing an existing (gently mastered) file, but inadvertently let AAMS auto-master it instead. A file analysis on a 104 MB 32-bit wave file took about 5 minutes. One downside is that it's still agonizingly slow. There have been many UI improvements since I last looked at it, but it still does not score highly in terms of user-friendliness. Spurred by Mike's post, I've re-downloaded the free version, which is now at version 3. I'd tried this out (version 1) a few years ago, and although I wasn't exactly blown away, I have to say that it gets results at least comparable to LANDR, but with GOBS more helpful information provided. Just wanted to give this thread a bump, since it's apparently been greeted by yawns.
