VIRTU™, our new web-based assisted mastering platform, is the final step of your music-making journey.
Curated Style Profiles
Intelligent genre profiles clean up and clarify the distinct sonic characteristics and tonal balance of your track.
Reference Tracks
VIRTU studies your reference track’s dynamic range and tonal properties to help you achieve a similar, competitive sound.
Advanced Processing
VIRTU allows you to go deeper, giving you enhanced control over the EQ, compression, and width of your master.
Professional Masters in Minutes
VIRTU is the best way to move your mix across the finish line. VIRTU’s intelligent processing takes cues from Slate Digital products you know and trust to deliver a comprehensive yet streamlined and easy-to-use “last step” of your music-making process.
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 and 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 and 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.
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.
