About
Metis holds your mix up against a track you love. Drop a finished reference on the screen and Metis measures it as a whole, then compares your mix with it as it plays.
Tonal balance is shown band by band (gold where yours is fuller, blue where it is thinner), alongside loudness, punch and width. REF swaps your mix for the reference, and with MATCH on it plays at your mix's loudness, so you hear the difference in sound rather than in level.
What's inside
- Load any finished track as a reference
- Tonal balance, band by band
- Loudness, punch and width
- REF to switch, with MATCH for equal loudness
What's new
- Knobs you can fine-tune or type into, and hover help
- The GLASS theme is retired: DARK and Metis's own theme remain
