directly via the Web Audio API — no placeholders, no fakes. You see every transient exactly as
it sits in the file.

After mastering completes, the output deck shows Integrated LUFS and True
Peak (dBTP) measured by FFmpeg's loudnorm filter. Know exactly how loud your master is before
you upload it anywhere.

the best genre preset automatically (Jazz < 80 BPM, EDM 130–145, Trap 145+), then runs the
full mastering chain unattended.
