Why Acetate
Audio never leaves your machine. No account required to master and preview — only to export, with a one-time license.
Spectral targets tuned per family — techno, deep house, microhouse, IDM, minimal. Acetate listens before it touches anything.
Every EQ move, every comp ratio, every clipper stage shown step-by-step. No black-box "AI master" — you can see what changed and why.
Hear before and after, sample-aligned, inside the app. Catch regressions before you export.
$79 at launch, $99 thereafter. Pay once, use forever. Lifetime updates within v1. Use on up to 3 machines.
No questions. If it doesn't work for your material, email and walk away — your masters are yours to keep.
How it works
Drag a WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or MP3 onto the window. Acetate probes duration, sample rate, and bit depth — and warns about anything funny in the mix.
Spectral profile, LUFS, true peak, dynamic range, transient density. Classified against genre fingerprints and matched to a default chain — which you can override.
Low-cut → tilt EQ → de-ess → parallel comp → soft clip → limiter. Each stage with a target and a real reason. Output convergence to your LUFS target.
Audition before and after in-app, sample-aligned. Export 16/24-bit WAV or AIFF when it sounds right.
Launching soon
