Release Notes
A chronological record of system updates, measurement changes, and interface improvements to the Ethical Audio platform.
Changes are documented to preserve transparency and traceability.
v1.2.0 — September 2026
We Are Live
- Automatic Mastering — early access. The same transparent, explainable approach used in mixing now applies to mastering: loudness, dynamic range, true peak, and stereo image, with every processing decision inspectable. Currently in testing with a small group of users ahead of full availability.
- Subscriptions. Choose a monthly or yearly plan across three tiers, with credits usable across analysis, mixing, and mastering, and no expiration — use them whenever your work happens, not on our calendar.
- Sign in with Google. Create or access your account faster, no separate password required.
- L/R balance added to the analysis timeline, showing left/right level balance across your track over time.
- Mixing now supports up to 24 stems per project, up from 20.
- Refreshed genre reference data across analysis and mixing, built from a corrected and expanded comparison set.
- Improved one-page PDF export for analysis results.
- New on the blog: “Intersample Peaks vs. Clipping: Why Your Meter Says −0.1 dBFS and the Listener Still Hears Distortion”.
Coming Soon
