Master a song with BRAVO

Drop a mixed song into BRAVO's chat and ask for a master. BRAVO puts it through its master chain (gentle glue and a limiter), sets the loudness for where it is going, keeps the true peak under −1 dBTP and writes a 24-bit WAV, with a before and after you can compare.

What you ask

In BRAVO's chat, or from your own AI once it is connected:

  • Master this for Spotify.
  • Master it for Apple Music.
  • Master it at -10 LUFS.
  • Master these three songs for YouTube.

What you get back

  • A mastered 24-bit WAV in a new folder next to your original, which is not touched.
  • Loudness in integrated LUFS and true peak, before and after.
  • Before and After players in the chat, «Show in Finder», and «Open in BRAVO» to see the project behind the master.
  • A «Useful» or «Not useful» button, with an optional note on what you expected.

How to do it

  1. Drop your audio into BRAVO's chat. Open BRAVO and press Home. Drop the audio into the chat and say what you want in your own words. Your own AI can ask for the same job once it is connected.
  2. Say where it is going. Streaming (−14 LUFS for Spotify, YouTube and Tidal, −16 for Apple Music), a club (−8) or a number in LUFS. Without one, BRAVO aims for −14.
  3. Compare. Play Before and After in the chat. The After is usually louder, so compare with the measurements too.
  4. Keep or change. Keep the file, ask again with another target, or press «Open in BRAVO» to change the master by hand.

Limits

  • Mastering finishes a mix; it cannot rebalance instruments. If the mix has a problem, ask BRAVO to judge it first.
  • Matching a reference track is not in this beta yet.
  • The result is a 24-bit WAV. BRAVO does not write MP3.
  • Beta: Mac with Apple Silicon only. Windows comes later.
  • Access opens by waves from the waiting list.
  • BRAVO works on the audio you bring. It does not generate songs.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same engine as OBRA Mastering on obra.art?

No. BRAVO masters on your Mac with its own master chain. OBRA Mastering is a separate tool that runs in the browser.

How loud should I master for streaming?

Around -14 LUFS integrated with a true peak under -1 dBTP is a common reference; BRAVO shows both numbers so you can decide.

Can my own AI ask for the master?

Yes. Through the connector, the bravo_master_file tool masters a file end to end and returns the loudness before and after.

BRAVO is a free beta for Mac with Apple Silicon. Access opens by waves from the list.
