Musik Hack may have just made mastering easier than ever…

With HyFi, the brand’s new drag-and-drop mastering platform, users can simply drag in their audio files for mastering and the platform will do the rest.

The platform operates on a token/credit basis, with one credit used per minute of audio. No subscription is required, simply pay for what you need when you need it. Oh, and upon making an account you get 10 credits completely free.

Once the audio is uploaded, the platform creates a default master in moments. From there, certain options such as Loudness, Character, and playback speed are available for general alterations. Use the A/B to hear the exact difference with each setting, then download the mastered audio straight from the website in either mp3 or WAV. The website stores everything for 30 days, and one credit extends that for a full year.

It works on mobile, too, so if you want to give a new track of yours that little extra sheen before you show it to a friend, just make sure you have enough credits.

Musik Hack’s most popular product is the mastering plugin, Master Plan, which MusicTech granted an 8/10 in its 2024 review.

“Master Plan’s supreme simplicity masks a surprisingly deep and extensive chain of well-chosen mastering processors, while the basic controls reach into those processors and tweak them in just the right way to provide you with loads of tonal and dynamic control,” we wrote.

HyFi builds on this accessibility and efficacy. While the website can’t include as many options for fine-tuning as the plugin, the intention for a crisp and clear sound remains the same. Plus, HyFi was specifically designed to maintain the integrity of the mix. By focusing on color and volume, its functionality enhances the uploaded audio rather than morphing it.
