AI Mastering vs WhitePrint AudioEngine

AI Mastering is an online service that uses AI to master audio with the aim of improving music sound quality. Its limiter can balance loudness and dynamic range, while the web interface lets users set target loudness and mastering level. It also supports drag-and-drop uploads, output-format customization, spectrum analysis, and loudness analysis. The API supports audio upload and download, mastering, and changes to target loudness and mastering level; its documentation links JavaScript (Node) and Ruby client libraries and tutorials. An offline desktop version is available, and the maker says its focus is shifting toward that version rather than the API. Offline file size depends on the computer’s memory, while the online service has file limits. The maker says online waiting time cannot be shortened and suggests using the offline version to reduce it. A bass-preservation option can reduce low-frequency attenuation. Supported input formats are WAV, MP3, and MP4, and WAV export is available. The free plan lists unlimited mastering, and users retain control over their mastered tracks without service restrictions.

WhitePrint AudioEngine provides AI-powered audio analysis and mastering through a web interface and API, returning analysis data, mastered audio, or both. Its BS.1770-4 analysis measures LUFS, true peak, loudness range, crest factor, spectral balance, and stereo width. Three independent AI models make mastering recommendations, and users can inspect each model's advice and the reasoning behind the consensus. The mastering chain has 14 hybrid DSP stages, bypassed by default unless the AI directs otherwise. Users can compare original and mastered audio with an A/B player, inspect metric changes, and download a WAV file. WAV and FLAC inputs are supported, and direct processing can use links from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, and Google Cloud Storage; Suno and SoundCloud are also listed as URL sources. API routes support full mastering, analysis-only, deliberation-only, and DSP-only tasks. Submitted audio is deleted within 24 hours after job completion and is not used to train AI models. The free plan includes three WAV masters monthly and seven days of analysis history. Paid plan prices range from $54 a month to $5,506 a month.
