MasterCheck 2 by NUGEN Audio is a cross-platform mastering utility that helps you hear how your music will translate to streaming services and physical formats. It simulates loudness normalisation and codec artifacts for platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube, and more, so you can audition the impact before release. The plugin provides industry-standard loudness and True Peak metering, including Integrated loudness, PLR, and PSR, helping you find the sweet spot between perceived loudness and dynamics. Use it during mixing to catch over-compression early, or at the mastering stage to ensure consistency across playback systems. It supports stereo and surround up to 7.1.4, making it suitable for immersive formats like Dolby Atmos. With resizable portrait and landscape views, it fits any workflow. Ideal for hobby producers, mixers, and mastering engineers who want professional, platform-ready results without unpleasant surprises.
