Your AI mixing engineer.
The one that shows its work.

Load your stems. Press one button. StemMaster analyzes every track, mixes and masters to industry standards — and explains every decision it made, while you watch the faders ride your mix in real time.

Launch price — regularly $59 · One-time purchase · Windows 10/11
The StemMaster console right after an AI master: 22 channel strips with live meters, cyan automation needles riding the vocal faders, the VU meter at 0 for a −9 LUFS club master, and the Engine Notes panel explaining every decision.
See it think

Watch your mix being ridden — fader by fader, word by word.

Most AI audio tools are a black box: song in, master out, shrug. StemMaster is the opposite. Amber marks show every decision the AI made. Cyan needles dance in real time as section automation and the vocal rider work your mix. And the Engine Notes panel writes it all down in plain English — what was done, to which stem, and why the measurements justified it.

Decisions you can read, hear, and override

  • Engine Notes — “Unmasking: Vocals → Guitar @ 2.5k”, “Gain ride: Vocals (±3 dB)”, “Soft clip: shaved 5.9 dB”. Every master ships with its reasoning.
  • Live A/B console — flip between your original mix and the AI master, loudness-matched so louder never cheats.
  • Your hands stay on the faders — tweak any stem after the master; StemMaster re-renders around your moves in seconds.
The full rack

Everything a mixing engineer reaches for. Nothing you have to configure.

Every tool below is evidence-gated: StemMaster measures your audio first and only applies what the measurements justify. No presets slapped on blind.

Stem-aware AI mixing

Balances, pans, EQs and compresses each stem by its measured role — kick vs bass masking resolved, mono support elements placed off-center, stereo prints left alone.

Section automation

Detects your song's structure — verses, drops, breakdowns — and rides gain, pan, filters, reverb and stereo width per section. Muffled verses that explode into choruses.

Vocal rider

A slow envelope follower pins your lead to the mix word-by-word — the fader ride an engineer does by hand, bounded and never pumping.

Spectral unmasking

The kick ducks only the bass's low band. The vocal dips only the guitars' presence — and only while it sings. Surgical, modern, inaudible until you A/B it.

Punch tools

Transient shaping re-sharpens squashed drums; parallel (NY) compression blends density under thin kits without eating the hits.

Three reverbs + slap

Plate, room and hall characters — chosen per stem, sent only to elements that measure dry, never to the low end.

Master bus, complete

EQ, mid/side EQ, glue and multiband compression, saturation, stereo width, mono-bass fold below 120 Hz — vinyl-safe and mono-proof by construction.

Loudness done right

Streaming −14 or Club −9 LUFS targets, 4× oversampled true-peak limiting, and a soft clipper that engages only at loud targets so club masters punch instead of pump.

Closed-loop refinement

StemMaster listens back to its own render, measures it against the target curve — or a reference track you drop in — and corrects itself before you ever hear it.

Reference matching

Drop in a commercial track: tonal balance, width and dynamics steer toward it while your loudness target is still hit exactly.

Auto-labeling

Twenty-two stems named “Audio Track 3 copy”? StemMaster fingerprints the audio and labels drums, bass, vocals and synths for you.

Creative direction

Type what you want — “dark and moody, heavy sub, vocals intimate” — and the AI interprets it into concrete engineering moves, then tells you how.

How it works

Three steps between your bounce folder and a finished master.

1

Load your stems

Drag in WAV, FLAC or MP3 stems — 4 or 40 of them. StemMaster labels them automatically and sets up your console.

2

Pick a vibe, press the button

Choose a profile (Rock/Live, Bass-Heavy, Vocal-Forward…), a loudness target, and optionally type a creative direction. Hit AI MIX & MASTER.

3

A/B, tweak, export

Flip A/B loudness-matched, read the Engine Notes, nudge any fader — then export 24-bit WAV, FLAC or MP3, hitting your target within a tenth of a dB.

Private by design

Your music never leaves your machine.

StemMaster is a real desktop app, not a cloud service wearing one as a costume. All audio analysis and rendering happens locally, on your computer.

No subscription

One purchase, yours forever. Free updates across the 1.x series.

No account, no telemetry

Nothing phones home. No sign-in, no usage tracking, no analytics SDK buried in the installer.

Audio stays local

Your stems and masters are processed entirely on your machine. Only compact measurement summaries are ever sent to an AI model — never audio.

Bring your own AI

Works out of the box with the built-in analysis engine — fully offline. Plug in your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, z.ai, and other compatible providers) to unlock the LLM engine. Your key lives in Windows Credential Manager, not a config file.

Pricing

One price. No meter running.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What do I need to run StemMaster?
A 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC. That's it — no DAW required, no Python, no plugins. StemMaster is a self-contained desktop app (~280 MB installed).
Do I need an AI subscription or API key?
No. StemMaster ships with a built-in analysis engine that mixes and masters fully offline using measured evidence from your audio. If you want the more creative LLM engine, plug in your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, z.ai and other compatible providers are supported) — you pay your provider pennies per master, and we never see your key or your audio.
Is it a VST plugin?
No — StemMaster is a standalone application. Bounce your stems out of any DAW (Ableton, FL Studio, Logic via export, Reaper, Cubase…), drop them in, and master. Your DAW stays your DAW; StemMaster is the mastering room across the hall.
What audio formats does it support?
Loads WAV, FLAC and MP3 stems at any common sample rate (mixed rates are resampled automatically). Exports 16/24-bit WAV with proper dither, FLAC, and MP3.
How is this different from online AI mastering services?
Three ways. First, StemMaster works on your stems, not a finished stereo file — it can ride the vocal, duck the bass under the kick, and automate sections, which no stereo-file masterer can do. Second, it shows its work: every decision is visible, explained, and overridable. Third, it's a one-time purchase that runs on your machine — no monthly fee, no upload queue, no privacy questions.
Can I tweak the AI's mix?
Yes — that's the point of the console. After a master, the faders snap to the AI's mix. Move any fader or pan knob and StemMaster re-renders the master around your tweak in seconds, keeping the loudness target intact. A/B stays loudness-matched so you're always comparing fairly.
What's your refund policy?
14 days, no questions asked. Try the free demo first if you'd like — it's the full app with exports disabled.
How many machines can I use it on?
Your license activates on up to 3 of your own machines (studio PC + laptop + one spare). Deactivate and move anytime.
