Mastering Assistant overview in Logic Pro for iPad
Mastering Assistant is a plug-in designed to make your final mix sound great across any playback device. By meticulously analyzing audio, it automatically fine-tunes the sound through dynamic adjustments, precisely balanced frequency corrections, and additional sonic enhancements. Mastering Assistant also provides dynamic processing and spectral shaping inspired by boutique analog hardware devices used by professional mastering engineers. Using Mastering Assistant on your final mix will help to ensure that your project meets industry-specified loudness levels that can prepare it for distribution on streaming services like Apple Music.
Recommended workflow
The following steps map out the typical workflow for mastering a project using Mastering Assistant in Logic Pro:
Finish mixing your project, making sure everything sounds balanced and dynamically consistent and has enough headroom so that your project doesn’t clip.
Add Mastering Assistant to the stereo output channel strip. See Add Mastering Assistant from the Plug-ins area.
Let Mastering Assistant analyze your project:
When you add Mastering Assistant, an analysis is triggered, and its internal parameters are adjusted to produce the best results.
Mastering Assistant analyzes the whole project unless you set a cycle, in which case it will analyze only the part of the project within the cycle area.
Listen to your project to hear how Mastering Assistant has improved the sound, while noting any manual changes you’d like to make.
Open Mastering Assistant in Details view, and adjust essential parameters such as loudness, frequency distribution, and stereo width, or change the overall sound by selecting a character preset. See Mastering Assistant parameters Logic Pro for iPad.
When you’re satisfied with the sound of your project, you can export your project from the File menu. See Export a project to an audio file.
