Auralith Forge vs TrackGleam

Auralith Forge is a web service for automated music mastering. Its adaptive DSP measures loudness, tonal balance, dynamics, and stereo width before applying processing such as EQ, compression, saturation, and true-peak-safe limiting. Users can make instant level-matched A/B comparisons, use artist profiles, and preview codecs; stem separation is available as an option for rebalancing vocals and accompaniment separately. Free accounts also get unlimited chord, key, BPM, chord-progression, and LUFS analysis tools. Uploads can be up to 200 MB in WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, WMA, MP4, or WebM, with WAV or MP3 exports. The Free plan includes three full-length masters once and unlimited 30-second previews. Paid options include a one-time extra master for €2.99, Indie at €4.99 per month, Studio at €9.99 per month, and All-Access at €19.99 per month. The Professional engine, included with Studio and All-Access, adds separate sub and punch bands and a transient-aware clipper. Uploaded audio, masters, and codec previews are deleted from servers 48 hours after creation.

TrackGleam is a browser-based audio mastering tool with EQ, compression, saturation, stereo shaping, and true-peak limiting. It accepts WAV, MP3, FLAC, and M4A audio, as well as MP4, MOV, and WebM video, and processes the audio track in video files. Gleam Engine V5 uses a 14-stage chain and genre-aware presets, with optional linear-phase reference matching. GleamAI analyzes more than 60 measurements and offers five mastering directions: punch, warmth, space, energy, and transparency. Free and paid masters can be downloaded as WAV or MP3 without a watermark. Free Gleam includes unlimited mastering at no cost. Other options include a $1.99, paid once Single purchase, a $5 as a one-time purchase Creator Pack, and Producer subscriptions at $8.99 a month or $89.99 a year. With any purchase, GleamLab includes Mix Doctor and Music Visualizer without using mastering credits. Processing runs locally; AI mastering sends numeric measurements rather than audio. The optional lyric-finding feature sends a temporary mono audio copy to Groq for transcription. Producer unlimited use is restricted to music the subscriber creates, owns, or is authorized to master.
