About

Bia is the mastering maximiser. Gain pushes your master into a look-ahead limiter that never lets a sample past the ceiling, or, with True Peak on, a peak between samples either. Four styles set its feel: transparent, punchy, loud and safe.

The loudness meters read your master the way the streaming services do, against a target for each service, for club play or for broadcast. MATCH plays it back at the loudness it came in at, so a louder master can't win the comparison just by being louder.

33 presets for streaming, club and EDM, hip-hop and pop, dynamic masters, and mixes and buses.
