Features

Compare EQ shows how your average tonal balance compares to your imported reference track. Or you can select a genre-specific preset, all of which were created using sonic profiles from commercially successful tracks. This will allow you to check that your music aligns with your sonic goals and isn’t too muddy, dull, thin, or harsh before releasing.

Loudness Match normalizes the playback of all tracks in EXPOSE using a LUFS algorithm. The human ear perceives louder music to have a fuller bass and more clarity in the high frequencies. Loudness matching removes this bias and enables you to make more informed decisions for your music.

Analysis Feedback gives you specific guidance on how to adjust your audio to get the sound you’re looking for. This helps you hit your technical goals, whether you’re aiming for a super-loud club master, or trying to optimize your music to sound great on streaming sites. (27 presets, and 5 user preset slots)

User Interface with user experience and workflow improvements.
Get the technical details of your track in seconds. (LUFS Integrated, Short-term, decibels true-peak, left-right heat map, phase heat map, dynamic range, loudness range)

It's nice having the info in one screen. But a) there's no information in there that you can't get from other vst analysers in your master bus and b) having to render/export every time you make some changes must be a real pain. If this was a vst, then fair enough. But as a standalone?

Do you all offer lessons on mixing and mastering or have a book?

Do you really need to master for a club or Spotify or Apple Music differently? I would expect that a master is a master? Just wondering - landed here by accident.
