StudioZIO Mastering Suite
What it is
StudioZIO Mastering Suite is a free macOS mastering suite that brings tonal, dynamics, stereo and delivery-metering tools into one signal path. Its nine stages are M/S engine, saturation, Pink Match, glue, maximizer, tone EQ, clipper, limiter and output. Pink Match listens for twenty seconds against a target curve, then applies correction at the amount the user chooses. Loudness readings include integrated, short-term and momentary LUFS, plus true peak in dBTP. The limiter’s true-peak detector uses 16× reconstruction; separate true-peak meters use 4× reconstruction. The suite is available as Audio Unit, VST3, AAX and a standalone application. It supports macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and the maker says AAX was validated in Pro Tools. The installer is Developer ID signed and Apple notarized, with a published SHA-256 checksum. Downloading and using it requires no licence key or account.
