Hear the Difference with VIRTU
Bring clarity and space to your mix, and loudness to your track
Whether you’re mastering a Top 40’s hit, a country ballad, a booming trap beat or anything in between, VIRTU can give you a polished, pro result. Use the Style preset that matches your Genre or mix and match.
Professional Masters In Minutes
Upload Your Mix
First, import the final bounce of a stereo WAV file mix. VIRTU will then quickly analyze your track to optimize the mastering process.
Select Style & Loudness
Select the ‘Style’ that best fits your track and choose one of the three loudness targets. You can also access a set of advanced controls, and even add a reference track for EQ and loudness matching.
Preview & Print
Once you’ve selected your desired settings, you can preview 15 seconds of mastered audio before you commit. If you like what you hear, click ‘Master’ to process your entire track, then download it from the library!
Match Your Favorite Tracks
VIRTU’s Reference Track feature adds another layer of customization to the mastering process. Simply upload the track you’d like to reference (WAV only) and VIRTU will match its EQ curve and Loudness profile. Using a Reference Track will allow users to shape their sound beyond the included Genre profiles, so each track sounds exactly the way you want it to.
Expertly-Crafted, Curated Curves
Give your track the final touch it deserves. Virtu lets you take the wheel of your own mastering process with the Advanced Controls and dial it in to taste. The EQ curves and compression algorithms have been calibrated by Slate Digital’s team of experts by hand (and ear), and take inspiration from some of our most beloved emulations, like FG-Dynamics, FG-2A, and FG-Stress.
Intelligent analysis delivers Peak perfection
VIRTU’s intelligent mastering process is sensitive to each track. During the analysis phase, it measures key signal properties (i.e. Peak, RMS, and Average) on different frequency bands to retrieve information about the tonal balance, loudness, and dynamic range of the track. That information helps determine the set EQ curves, multiband compression ratio & threshold, limiter gain, and other key parameters that will define your final master.
Take Advanced Control
Frequency Balance
The frequency balance section lets you make final adjustments to the overall EQ profile of your track. You can either boost or cut both the highs and lows of your master, or leave the end result unaffected to retain the sonic character of your original mix.
Compression
The compression presets let you adjust the overall compression of the track. If you want a more neutral result, leave the compression balanced. If you want some extra punch or you’re looking for a more in-your-face master, the ‘Punch’ or ‘Aggressive’ settings are your best bet.
Stereo image
Add some extra width to your master with the stereo widening tool. You can choose to either leave the end result relatively unaffected with the default ‘Balanced’ setting, or you can introduce even more dimension with the ‘Wider’ setting.

"VIRTU Assisted Mastering by Slate Digital really impressed me. I've tried several AI driven mastering tools, and this one stands out to me as sounding full and authentic - closer to how a mastering engineer would treat my music.

Also, the loudness targets and advanced controls gave me just enough control to get a variety of music (from orchestral to electronic) sounding just the way I want."
