Soren - 'How It Works' video just dropped:

Demoed...mastered few old tracks, I like it, not bad at all...
This needs gain match option!
Will probably buy if he can add that feature...

Thanks for trying Soren! The gain match option has been a popular request, and it will be included in the next update, coming early January.

Today, Soren updated to v1.1 with gain matching, mono file processing and performance improvements. The demo version will also be updated shortly.

This video below is an experimental podcast generated by two AI agents trained on information about the Soren mastering app and content from its Learning Center. We found it a bit cheeky but informative and decided to make it public, enjoy.

Any way to make this run on GPU and also save the session ?

Currently, neither GPU support nor session saving is available. We’re testing GPU integration to explore its potential (especially together with batch processing), but session saving is definitely coming in one of the next updates.

Cool.

Soren Demo is now updated to version 1.1 for all OS versions.

I've just tried it and I salute the effort. It is, on a tonal balance perspective, interesting. It is at least to my preference and barely change a thing if not for a db or so in the upper treble range giving the master a more open feel to it. It does sound a bit shy on the lower octaves also but that's quite a challenge to get right and I do go through hoops and loops to achieve something dynamic and present down there.
Sadly, it seems to fall apart on the loudness part of things. Using the Loud setting, it spew out a meager -13.4 db LUFS.
When Urban music genre is involved, this fall short by quite a bit.
The transient management is also well done and I can't ear any artifact during the limiting process.

Thank you for this detailed feedback! The loudness can indeed depend on several factors, including the input track's characteristics, genre/reference selection, and overall mix balance.

If you used the Hip-Hop genre with the 'Loud' preset, -13 LUFS is quite low. In our internal tests, these settings typically yield results between -9 and -10 LUFS for an average mix. We’d be happy to investigate this further—if you could DM us your settings or, even better, email us with a short audio example, we can analyze the case.

This would help us understand what might be falling short, and we could even create a tailored smart reference for you. While most members and power users are satisfied with the current range of loudness presets, we’ll definitely consider adding louder options if similar feedback arises for specific edge cases.

I'll be happy to help.

I'll contact you through your website.

Best.

We received your email and we’ll follow up soon through email with insights . Thanks!

I demoed this app. It gives me problems as it turned all the masters into mono and it kills all the width off. The only disappointment is the inability to choose an audio device to use with the app. Most people use asio option as their default audio device. This software seems to choose any audio device
automatically.

Hi there,

We never had this issue before, can you write us through support so we can look into this immediately? You can also reply to the order email explaining the issue (include your OS details).
