Streamliner and AB have boosted my confidence when mastering tenfold. So convenient for my workflow too.
That's really great to hear. Thanks for sharing!
Really stoked to have this in the Plugin Alliance... installing right now to give it a spin. The PA subscription is the gift that keeps on giving!
or use the coupons on what you actually use , for life, after testing for a year .
Thanks, we are really glad to hear that!
I adore this plugin so much. This is a must have..!!! Who Agree.🙃✌☺
ive been using metric a/b for a very long time and love it - very stoked that ui and overall professional philosophy has stayed the same!
We're glad to hear it's working so well for you. Thanks for the amazing feedback!
This plugin has been a huge asset to my mastering workflow. The wide assortment of codec preview options is phenomenal. I’m not sure what’s involved with doing this, but integrating an offline reference track analysis feature would be amazing and help speed up my workflow even more.
Thanks for the nice feedback and sharing your thoughts!
Really helpful plugin - Great Work!
Very cool and much needed!
Gracias por la promo amigos Plugins Alliance
Great sotware! One thing I find gets in the way is when you mouse to a label, such as LUFS and PSR, call it by a different name. This is a kind of 'technospeak' that many software designers use. Much easier for the user if you name those labels with an abreviated version of what you vocally call them. The things are congruent. Thanks!
Thanks for the deal guys.
We're glad it's working for you. Cheers!
Pretty well showed man. Thanks for it. Actually I am making the purchase right now.
Thanks and enjoy your new tool!
So cool!
Thanks!
It would be nice, if I can load references directly from Spotify or Amazon music HD
YES, I Agree
@@MusicProMastery Can we not stream to our Daw via the likes of Sunflower?? and experience the Codec??? at least for Laptop use..(use mobile app?? for Mobile codec etc etc.. anyways , why cut fake size down for Mobile use?? it lowers the quality surely? and mobile phone speakers are not as good as Laptop etc .. EG: you bluetooth out your mobile phone "codec" to a bluetooth speaker and will compromise the sound because the fie playing is half the size of 'HiFI" settings and will sound crap/er?..where is the advantage of a mobile Codec? why not just have a standard file size regardless of Codec... Mobile phones will process full size files no problem.. Yours - fairly confused ..
Thnks
very professional and smart design. Is it possible to include more Level Presets for the non-music content, like talk show, TV and film?
This would be very useful 👌
Like major TV or streaming platform broadcast specs? That would be great!
That’s exactly what I was looking for. For one, in the world of amateur content creation, audio levels of many UA-cam videos are still all over the place and I’d really like to see that content creators have access to easy to understand and use audio leveling tools. Many creators still have no idea that their audio’s loudness needs to be accounted for, much less how to do it. UA-cam doesn’t seem to be helping out much either. Regardless, for content creators that want to produce consistent audio content that can sit in a playlist with the BBC or anyone else’s programming, well it would be great to give them as much help as possible. Regarding professional use, (talk-show, TV and film), I’d like to see Level Presets included as well.
Brilliant processor!
Thank you so much!
🔥
I have this one, it's a great plugin, can I use this with my Akai APC40? That would make things even easier.
Are the settings correct? It looks like every setting for peak out put is -3 but reading some other info some other platforms take different peak settings. Is there a setting to ball park it for all platforms because of you use a distribution service you will be on several platforms ?
This looks incredible! Quick workflow question: in terms of using reference tracks, is it a better idea to (1) start with a high-quality version of the reference track (WAV or AIFF) and then run both the reference track and my track through the same Streamliner codec preset, or to (2) rip my reference track directly from the platform that I'm targeting (e.g. Spotify) and then simply reference my track run through Streamliner's Spotify codec against the Spotify-ripped version of my reference track? Hopefully my question makes sense, and I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice that folks might have. Thanks!
Ideally, find a track that sounds great on i.e. Spotify, analyse the levels, set targets, hear how your master sounds like with an A-B comparison and the loudness normalisation which will be applied via the streaming platform.
If you have further questions, please contact our support team: www.plugin-alliance.com/en/support.html
Quick question regarding how does the level match of this plugin compared to how streaming platforms do audio compression (audio compression, not codec). Is it leveling only to the reference loudness or is it applying same compression type algorithm ? Thanks.
It can do both and you can switch among the ones you have showing in realtime. So as you're playing, you can switch back and forth through Spotify, UA-cam, TIDAL, etc (including each platform's own different codec rates, like Spotify Free, Premium) in real-time (with a slight delay as it changes from codec to codec).
The volume level of a track doesnt really change when you audition the audio codec compression (i.e. MP3 / AAC / OGG / OPUS), but if you activate the (loudness) Match button, then the volume level will be matched to the target volume level of the streaming platform. e.g. Spotify -14 LUFS. Streamliner lets you audition both Audio Compression Codecs and Loudness Normalisation at the same time, so you can get a realistic idea of how your music will sound when streaming. You can also choose to audition Codec Compression or Loudness Normalisation independently.
Would be awesome to see this updated for Apple Silicon.
We are in the final stages of testing now and hope to be fully compatible very soon. Once Silicon support is ready, you will be able to update your plugins hassle-free through our Installation Manager at no extra cost.
@@PluginAllianceTV super! 😃
Really great plugin but do u know what would take it to the next level, combine it with the awesome Metric A/B so that it is all in one plugin, now that would be powerful ;)
It's in there
No, I think it would be confusing af
It’s better to keep it to 2 separate plugins for 2 separate uses/tasks
I personally prefer it this way
@@RichPurps that would be a "money back" demand on my end, lol. just bought Metric AB - MetricAB should do all of the above, but not the other way around :)
I agree combine it with metric ab
guuuuys I absolutely love this plugin, have been using it for like a year or so I just have one question, when is Apple silicon support coming up???
Support for macOS 13 Ventura and the AAX format on M-series devices is an ongoing effort and will be implemented with our upcoming Maintenance Updates. Once it's available, you will be able to update your plugins hassle-free through our Installation Manager. We'll make further announcements soon! www.plugin-alliance.com/en/news/article/items/apple-silicon-m1-plugin-updates.html
@@PluginAllianceTV heeeyy thanks a lot for all the hard work!!
But...where i do get the WAV for reference?
Exactly. One that matches up to today's levels that have not been squashed yet.
either use the presets or get a song of your liking from beatport. You can select to get it in lossless format.
I buy them from Beatport or Juno Download in wave format
I am confused. If clicking the match button, when it will match to target Integreated Loudess and when it will match to the reference track?
Please check with our support team. They are happy to help!
www.plugin-alliance.com/en/support.html
This confused me too, it appeared that he did the exact same process for both things. I cannot determine any difference
Streamliner matches the Live audio mix and the reference track to the Target Loudness Level. this way you can hear how loud they sound when played on the streaming service. I.e. if the Target Level is -14 LUFS, then the live audio will be matched to -14 LUFS and the Reference track is also matched to -14 LUFS. If you toggle between the live audio and reference track, then you can hear how they will sound back to back in a playlist. This way you can hear if your track is going to sound good next to another commercial track.
@@adptraudio4733 In other words,,, It just works, so we don't have to guess, just trust our ears ;)
Why don't these programs ever include settings for TV Broadcasting?
Amazon Music?
Ia this a stand alone plugin or used in the DAW?
Not a standalone. You need a DAW host.
Why is the S = Short and I = Integrated always red? Even if my track is below the target level in the Loudness section these are always red for me? Also, the L.R.A. the manual doesn't go into detail on this number?
Also, at 16:24 you say the Short term LUFS is -7 but it shows -4.8 in red. I am confused by why its -7 s?
That's hard to tell from UA-cam. If you think this is unexpected behaviour, please report it to our tech support: www.plugin-alliance.com/en/tech-support.html
It would be great if the plugin also displayed this data on an Android phone by USB and WiFi. Just like Decibel from Process Audio does. Please!!!! :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
do you have to turn off the match button when bouncing?
When active, Streamliner will apply the correct amount of loudness normalisation to match the target LUFS for the platform. If a streaming platform does not use Loudness Normalisation, then Streamliner will display N/A in the Targ. And Norm columns, e.g. Soundcloud or Bandcamp.
Why are there no Targ. (and Norm) available (N/A) for major platform Soundcloud in the list?
If a streaming platform does not use loudness normalisation, then Streamliner will display N/A in the "Targ." And "Norm" columns.
@@PluginAllianceTV okidoki
HELP! hey guys, is ADPTR Streamliner just another referencing/metering plugin geared towards streaming platform OR does it actually CHANGE the level and dynamics of your track once you finished tweaking all the parameters?
Streamliner combines metering for Loudness, Dynamics and True Peak levels along with Codec auditioning and
automatic Loudness matching across all major and minor streaming platforms.
We offer a 14-day-free-trial, so please hear for yourself!
It will change level only , tc electronic (the one i use but i m def gonna buy this one asap) is able to apply a limiter if needed on the process and can process folders .... but this bad boy (PA) looks incredibable .... the problem is that none of the video s explains how to compensate for codecs loss ....mastering is an art ...and having your track play well everywhere isn t only a question of level and dynamic ....
🙋🏻♂️🇲🇽
Finalement c'est Metric A/B simplifié ? Non ?
Je suis entrain de tester pour l'acheter, je parle de Metric AB
This is a different tool. It allows you to hear exactly how your music will sound on all major streaming services with codec auditioning, automatic level matching, and state of the art loudness and dynamics metering.
Should you bounce your track with this still on the mastering chain I notice a pretty slight yet significant change when it’s taken off and left on
This is not the expected behaviour. Please contact our tech support about this: www.plugin-alliance.com/en/tech-support.html
NO, you should not master your tracks through Streamliner. It's only intended for auditioning how your tracks will sound like on the different platforms. If you bounce your track with the codec audition ON, or the Loudness Normalisation, this will affect the quality of the master you send out to the platforms. Always send the best quality Master recording for distribution, let the platforms decide the playback volume and add their own codecs for streaming.
Listening to UA-cam codec on UA-cam lol
Does this have a limiter?
It has a 14-day-free-trial!
NO, it does not have a limiter.
@Tony Walker Glad we got that straightened out 😂👍🏼
Clarity is key here pun intended -
Answering it has a 14 day free trial is like saying "I know what you're looking for but this doesn't have it but try it anyway"
Bye-bye, Mastercheck
but I just got it ,, doh!!! lol
How is it better than MetricAB?
totally different tools.
Please check our 14-day-free-trial. The Streamliner will help you make your productions sound good on various streaming platforms, while the MetricAB allows you to directly reference a track for your mix and mastering sessions.
@@PluginAllianceTVthis like it has the metric ab option included with this plugin
Very all over the place explanation, I wish they can explain in a more logical manner, funny when I analyze "Rolling in the Deep" that is one of the level presets, the metering are blasting totally, and I do not why? if that is a preset that just have all the levels match at their edge....they should explain how all is really working from a philosophical point of view
Rolling in the Deep is a song by Adele. The Levels Preset shows the levels that were analysed from this master recording. E.g. Integrated LUFS, Max Short Term LUFS and PSR. All the presets are drawn from Analysing songs/recordings. So you can google the Preset names to find the track that they are from. Hope this helps.
Honestly, it really was. Was trying to follow this to get acquainted and the whole referencing the pre-master thing botched everything. That did not work at all. Now it's quieter than the premaster. This is more of a marketing video than a tutorial.
