LEEDS, UK: Award-winning professional audio plug-in and software provider NUGEN Audio is proud to announce availability of MasterCheck v1.7.0.1 — updating its music streaming auditioning plug-in to include MP3 and SoundCloud support as the complete optimisation solution for today’s delivery services — as of July 19…
As a NUGEN Audio mainstay, MasterCheck optimises mixes for today’s delivery services, revealing problems ahead of time to enable its users to audition and deliver masters perfectly tuned for today’s playout systems — a plug-in providing the tools to make sure that music reaches the listener as intended, in other words. With the timely introduction of the v1.7.0.1 update, MasterCheck now includes an Opus preset for SoundCloud — the online audio distribution platform and music sharing website based in Berlin, Germany, that enables its users to upload, promote, and share audio — and also adds support for MP3, a coding format for digital audio.
“A SoundCloud preset was added so that SoundCloud content creators can use MasterCheck with the same ease and convenience as people creating content for Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and YouTube, etc.” So says NUGEN Audio Solutions Specialist Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe, before adding: “It’s effectively one click, rather than having to create a custom preset.” Prior to the v1.7.0.1 update, it was effectively ‘possible’ to use MasterCheck to monitor for SoundCloud, but because its settings were different to other superficially similar platforms — notably not applying any loudness normalisation — this was a comparatively painful process!
