01Overview

MMatcher works by capturing the spectrum, loudness and stereo image of a reference and then adjusting your audio to match those parameters. Its controls let you fine-tune the result. The developer describes the workflow as three steps: analyze your recording, choose a reference from its database or analyze your own, then match. MeldaProduction also says MMatcher can correct headphone responses and calibrate studio monitors, and it includes a database of dry electric guitar and bass sounds for tone comparison.

03In depth

Spectrum, Loudness and Stereo Matching

MMatcher applies three kinds of matching: spectrum, loudness and stereo field. You analyze your recording, then match it to a reference from the built-in database or to a reference you analyze yourself.

The developer says the database covers thousands of commercial songs across many genres, which gives mastering and mixing engineers a set of targets for their own tracks.

MMatcher is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats on Windows and macOS.

Headphone and Monitor Correction

For headphones, you can select your model from the database or analyze your own pair, then correct for its inherent inaccuracies to get a more consistent mixing experience.

For studio monitors, MMatcher can build a custom correction profile from a measurement microphone and test signals. Averaging several measurements is meant to give a balanced response at the listening position. MeldaProduction notes that this is not a replacement for proper acoustic treatment.
