Quiet words come up, loud ones settle down, and nothing gets squashed. Then one click makes the song the right loudness for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or your podcast.
Drop a file on the app, or put Gain Curve on a track in Logic, Ableton or any DAW. You see the whole performance at once.
Press Auto-draw and it traces the performance for you, or draw it yourself. Gain Curve turns each moment up or down to follow it.
Pick where you're releasing and press Match. The song lands on the right loudness with safe peaks. Export, done.
Compressors guess. Gain Curve shows you exactly what it will do, for every second of the song, before you hit play.
Every platform turns songs to its own loudness. Too loud and they turn you down; too quiet and you sound weak next to everything else. Gain Curve tells you in plain words, and Match fixes it.
Every setting is a big number you can read from across the room. Presets give you a sensible start for piano, classical, podcasts, audiobooks and film dialog. Hover any control and it tells you what it does, in normal words.
A standalone app for files, plus Audio Unit (Logic, GarageBand) and VST3 (Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig). One license covers all three.
High-pass and low-pass curves you draw over time, for rumble in one spot or harshness in another.
True peak, momentary, short-term and integrated loudness and loudness range, measured to EBU R128 and ITU BS.1770.
Catches peaks before they happen, so matched songs stay under the platform's limit.
Export a curve and load it on another track or in another project.
A built-in help center written for bedroom producers, not engineers.
Keep every word audible over the band without crushing the life out of the vocal.
Even out two voices, laughs and leaning away from the mic, then hit −16 LUFS.
Meet ACX loudness, peak and noise-floor rules without fighting a compressor.
Tame the loudest passages and lift the quiet ones while keeping the music's shape.
Keep dialog consistent scene to scene and deliver to broadcast specs.
Ride levels across a whole song as a visible, editable move.
Right after paying you see it on the screen, and it's emailed to you. In Gain Curve, click trial at the top of the waveform, paste the key and press activate.
Yes, on two Macs at a time. Got a new computer? Deactivate the old one from the same panel, then activate the new one.
Only once, to activate. After that it works offline for good.
Any Mac DAW that loads Audio Units or VST3: Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig, Digital Performer and more. Pro Tools (AAX) is not supported yet. Or skip the DAW and use the app.
No. A compressor reacts to the sound as it happens and guesses. Gain Curve sees the whole song first and follows a curve you can see and change, so it never pumps or squashes.
macOS 11 Big Sur or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
Not yet. It's planned.
1.5 milliseconds, for the look-ahead limiter. Your DAW is told and keeps everything in time.
