AAMS Analyzer calculates automaticly music sound material, showing the differences between Source and Reference (Matching). Presented in a 5hz to 20Khz Spectrum Display, Equalization Suggestion, Multiband Compression Suggestionand Loudness Suggestion. Process Info Displays are automaticly generated and passed to the DSP-Processors. You can setup AAMS in a few steps and AAMS will generate a new master on the fly.

Check your music against other musical styles! With the allready available 100+ Reference Style Database selecting a good matching Reference is easy and is a good headstart. AAMS can offer endless possibilities for Analyzing Audio, Mixing and Mastering. With the Reference Parametric EQ it is easy to adjust the Reference, so you can add a touch of EQ in the process. You can pre-listen on the DSP-Player and select a good Reference in real time. When the Reference is saved you can use it for the rest of your audio material and have your own sound. You can also generate a new Reference Style from scratch with AAMS.

Now you can listen to what you expect!

freakah wrote:No no no don't misunderstand me I'm just checking it out purely to see if a machine/program can master better than a real mastering engineer.

I've been told my mixdowns are pretty good (to me they're gettin better with every tune), and I understand basic mastering before I get a billion 'OMG LULZ AT THIS GUY USIN A PROGRAM TO MASTER HIS TUNEZ'

I just wanna see how anyone could have written a program that could effectively master audio, just an experiment!!

Nah mate I get ya, and I understand why everyone would be like 'WTF'?! Cos that's what I was like and still am having seen the site.

I've just downloaded the trail and using it to master a few WAVs to see what it's like compared to:

a) My own basic poor masters of my own tunes
b) A genuine master done by a genuine human mastering engineer when I get them mastered

Just for an experiment, the original post was badly worded, I'm never gonna use it to master my shit or buy it or whatever, was just intrigued by what it claims to be able to do...my bad on the poor wording

yeah give me a heads up on this it does sound really interesting THAT they have made something to master for you, i think one good way it could be used is for somebody that doesnt know how to master and if this thing is anywhere decent they can match up their master and this things master and see the difference inbetween the two, or if its anywhere decent you could let it master something for you and you can jus fix the little bits here and there but this would totally be for the lazy producer at hand, i love mastering my own tracks but this is very curious to me

Freakah you made that post before I could get here, but already I see a problem, you need to turn your mixdown up to an equal peak db, and then compare waveforms.

also, looking at that, the dynamics are big chunky squares and the second verse is in a complete different range, you would need to zoom in far enough to see cycles and individual peaks to make an accurate judgement though

So, I played a bit with this tool and have to admit it is really complex. In my opinion this is a well thought out mastering suite. Ok, the auto mastering isn’t that 100% but for analyzing and comparing with reference tracks it is ok. Human mastering engineers also use reference tracks for comparing. And if you are not happy with the auto mastering you can still tweak the different stages manually. And here starts the fun.

Except for the nice anylysing tools you have an eq-stage a compressor-stage and a loudness-stage. All three of them blew my mind.

In all three stages you can tweak the left and right side individually. The eq can have up to 100 bands and there are different settings like “aams 50 band graphic eq” or “alesis 24 band graphic eq” and so on. The compressor-stage can have up to 8 bands. And same here. Tons of settings and the possibility to tweak the left and rght side individually. The loudness-stage is also really complex. Here you have a rms-limiter a peak-limiter and a brickwall-limiter. There are different presets for maximal, average and minimal loudness. The option to export the different stages inividually is a nice feature. So you can only process the eq-stage or the other two stages onto your audio material.

There is much more to explore and aams isn’t that bad for mastering purposes. I think I’ll use it for learning and understanding mastering and as a suporting tool for my productions.
