Does HearThis measure exact LUFS or true peak?

No. The current workflow is an expert listening analysis, not a calibrated metering suite. Technical-sounding observations are presented as audible judgments rather than exact measurements.

Can it identify clipping, harshness or mud?

It can flag audible symptoms and describe where they seem to matter, but the result should be verified by ear and with dedicated meters when precision is required.

Can I compare two masters?

Yes. The A/B Compare Lab includes a Mix/Master focus and independent audition players, plus Blind Compare to remove filename bias.

Can I give it a reference goal?

Yes. Use the Analysis brief to describe the sonic result you want. The report then includes goal alignment and next actions aimed at that target.

MIX & MASTER ANALYSIS

Get mix feedback you can verify by ear.

Use Mix/Master mode to focus HearThis on balance, vocal placement, low end, stereo image, density, harshness, mud, dynamics, transitions and overall polish — with qualitative flags instead of fake meter readings.

WHAT YOU GET

Analysis that leads to a decision.

Mix-focused listening mode

Shift the report away from songwriting and toward the audible production decisions that affect clarity, impact and translation.

Quality flags without fake meters

Surface audible concerns like abrupt edits, harshness, mud, masking or over-density as qualitative observations rather than pretending to measure exact LUFS or spectrum values.

Prioritized fixes

Get a short ordered list of next moves so the report answers what to change first instead of returning an unranked wall of critique.

Goal-aware critique

Describe the target — cleaner, wider, heavier, more intimate, more streaming-ready — and receive recommendations framed around that outcome.

Clickable evidence

Use timestamp and section controls to jump playback to the moments behind the feedback and decide whether you agree by ear.

Master-to-master A/B

Compare two masters or revisions directly, including blind mode, and inspect which version has the edge on the production dimension that matters.

WORKFLOW

From audio file to useful next move.

Upload the mix or master you are permitted to analyze.

Choose Mix/Master mode and optionally state your sonic target in the Analysis brief.

Review strengths, quality flags, mix notes and the prioritized next-action list.

Jump to timestamps to confirm issues by ear or compare a second revision in the A/B lab.

QUESTIONS

What to know before analyzing.

LISTEN DEEPER

Move from vague feedback to an ordered revision plan.

HearThis does not replace meters or your ears. It helps organize what is audible, identify likely priorities and point you to the moments worth checking first.
