Choose a tag to compare

@BeatKitchen BeatKitchen released this 07 Mar 00:38

What's New

Normalize

Loudness normalization with preset targets:

  • -14 LUFS (streaming — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube)
  • -16 LUFS (podcast / spoken word)
  • -23 LUFS (EBU R128 broadcast)
  • Custom target

Output saved as filename_-14LUFS.ext alongside the original.

.pkg installer

The DMG now contains a .pkg installer instead of a raw .workflow file. This fixes the Gatekeeper block on macOS Tahoe — no Terminal commands needed.

Safe mono conversion

Mono downmix now uses explicit 0.5 channel coefficients — mathematically cannot exceed the original peak level, regardless of channel correlation.

Dual-mono detection

Stereo files with identical L/R channels are flagged in the analysis report.

Install

Download the .dmg, open it, double-click the .pkg, follow the prompts.

Security note

macOS may warn that this installer is from an "unidentified developer." This is expected — the package is not signed with a paid Apple Developer ID certificate, not because anything is wrong with it. The tool is fully open source — you can read every line of code before installing. To proceed: right-click the .pkg and choose Open, or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
