1Abstract

We make every song over many rounds with an AI music app. In each round we write what we want to hear, the app plays back what it made, and we listen. Then we change the words or the settings and try again. When one version is right, we master it for streaming. This song took 10 rounds and 18 renders over 37 minutes. A render is one full version of the song the app plays back, and one round can return more than one. The charts below call each round a submission, one for every time we sent the app a prompt. We wrote the style prompt, which describes the sound, 5 ways and the lyrics 5 ways before we kept one render.

The song was made in Suno v5. The delivered master measures −11.81 LUFS integrated. Its true peak is −3.71 dBTP, and every streaming decode measured stays under the −0.50 dBTP ceiling. Loudness range is 5.4 LU.

[Intro: Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Male]
I stopped this morning
Caught my own eyes
Didn't move

(Stay)

Something in the glass
Wasn't just me
My father's mouth
My son's jaw already forming

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
I've been here
Every morning you walked past
I've been here

[Chorus: Duet]
Now you see
Now you see
What was always standing here

[Verse 2: Male]
My hands look like his hands
When did that happen
My brother's shoulders
My grandfather's way of standing still

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
I held them all for you
Every face you couldn't look at
I held

[Chorus: Duet]
Now you see
Now you see
What was always standing here

[Interlude]

[Drop: Female, Euphoric]
You were never just you
You were never just you
You were never just you

You were never just you
You were never just you
You were never just you

The raw file the mastering script reads carries this clip's id in its embedded Suno comment and is 9,354,240 samples at 48 kHz, 194.88 s, the same length as this clip to the sample.

5Mastering

MasteringThin Veil Records' proprietary mastering process, run on our own machine by an AI agent. The process is model-agnostic; any capable language model can run it. Every value measured by script. Approved by ear before release.
Mastered on2026-10-02
BriefThe brief, as the engineer's report and scripts state it: master from the raw 2-track into the .TJ. lane band (-9.5 +/- 0.5 LUFS-I, true peak at or under -1.0 dBTP), carrying the lane line "for TJ, we want the bass felt and the vocals clear" and the album intent "Fusion not selection. Big-room and heart-pounding bass is the non-negotiable.", with every setting derived from the track's own measurements. The engineer worked from the raw mix; the stems were measured against it and not used in the master. The dispatch text itself is not on disk. The delivered file is that remaster after album balancing, a head and tail match to the earlier master and one uniform release trim of -1.75 dB. Originally released with an earlier master. The earlier version of this master, built in spring 2026, carried processing aimed at AI-detection models: per-stem phase reconstruction on every stem, an AAC round trip on each stem, and a reference match to a commercial track. Our build record does not fully reconstruct the shipped chain. That work ended on 2026-08-14. This remaster works from the raw Suno mix and carries none of it. Replaced by Audio Swap on 2026-10-02. When checked on 2026-10-30, Apple's and Spotify's previews matched this master.
Figure 3. Codec safety. True peak in dBTP of the delivered file, against the label's file ceiling of −1.00 dBTP, and of each streaming codec's round trip, against the decode ceiling of −0.50 dBTP (the colored lines). 4 of 4 measurements clear their ceiling.

Figure 4. Signal chain, in processing order, as applied to the final render.
  1. Mastering chain, 2026-09-16, run by script on the raw 2-track (48 kHz, 16-bit). Re-running the script on 2026-10-30 reproduced the mastered file sample for sample.
  2. High-pass, 2nd-order Butterworth at 22 Hz, with a clean gain of +4.72 dB.
  3. Peaking filters: +1.5 dB at 95 Hz (Q 1), -2.0 dB at 510 Hz (Q 1.2), +2.2 dB at 3000 Hz (Q 0.8).
  4. Low-band saturation below 110 Hz: 4x oversampled asymmetric tanh, drive 2.0, bias 0.08, only the added difference kept.
  5. Tape-style emphasis saturation: 5 kHz emphasis of +/-4 dB, drive 0.6, asymmetry 0.1, 4x oversampled.
  6. Soft clipper at -1.9 dBFS, 0.5 dB knee, 4x oversampled, residual low-passed at 9 kHz; active for 5.0 s.
  7. True-peak limiter: ceiling -2.0 dBTP, 1.5 ms look-ahead, release 20 dB/s. Gain reduction peaks at 1.14 dB; 0.041 s above 1 dB, none above 3 dB.
  8. DC block: zero-phase 2nd-order high-pass at 5 Hz with reflected padding. True-peak safety clip at -1.0 dBTP (4x oversampled, binary-searched): not engaged.
  9. Head: digital zero to 50 ms, then a raised-cosine fade to 78 ms. Tail: 500 ms raised-cosine fade to exact zero from 194.38 s. TPDF dither to 24-bit (seed 20260916), zero where the fade gain is zero.
  10. The file landed at -9.94 LUFS-I.
  11. Album balancing, 2026-10-01 (script): no move; the file passed through unchanged.
  12. Head and tail matched to the earlier master, 2026-10-01 (script): the file was aligned to the earlier master by a median lag of 51.5 ms and set to its sample count, then the earlier master's music-band envelope (100 Hz to 1.5 kHz, 50 ms windows every 5 ms), relative to its body, was imposed on the first and last 20 s (full authority to 20 s, raised-cosine ramp over the next 2 s). Gains were limited to -60 dB and +24 dB, boosts were capped so no local peak rose above 0.3 dB under the source's true peak, and digital silence was kept in the first and last 3 s where the earlier master's music band is below -100 dBFS. Quantized to 24-bit by rounding, first and last sample zero.
  13. Release trim, 2026-10-02 (script): one clean linear gain of -1.75 dB on every track of the album (measured -1.750 dB), TPDF dither to 24-bit, first and last sample zero. LUFS-I -10.06 to -11.81, true peak -1.96 to -3.71 dBTP. Every streaming decode of the finished file is at or under -0.5 dBTP.
  14. Delivery, 2026-10-02 (script): written as a 24-bit, 48 kHz WAV with industry INFO tags and a bext chunk and no encoder signature. The audio is bit-exact with the trimmed file, and the delivered file is the one measured here. Re-running the balancing, match, refine and trim scripts on 2026-10-30 reproduced the trimmed files sample for sample.
Table 1. Mastering decisions: each move, what it rests on, and its cost.
MoveBecauseTradeoff
Peaking filters at 95 Hz (+1.5 dB), 510 Hz (-2.0 dB) and 3.0 kHz (+2.2 dB).Weight at 50 to 63 Hz that drops 7 dB by 90 Hz; the most persistent resonance of its batch, +4.30 dB median at 510 Hz and above +2 dB in 75 percent of 6-second sections; and a recessed presence (vocal ratio -5.97 dB).
Low-band saturation below 110 Hz at drive 2.0.The fundamentals sit at 50 to 63 Hz, so the harmonics land at 100 to 190 Hz, which a phone or laptop speaker can reproduce (the engineer's reading; it does not listen).Residual -18.2 dB; sub fell 0.72 dB.
No high shelf.5 to 14 kHz is an almost flat plateau (-68 to -73.5 dB) and air sits 1.3 dB above presence.
No album balancing move.The balancing script made no move on this track; the file passed through unchanged.
Head and tail matched to the earlier master.The script's stated job is to impose the earlier master's head and tail music envelope, relative to its body, on each remaster.
Release trim of -1.75 dB, the same on all 11 tracks.Gate A, the label's check that every streaming decode sits at or under -0.5 dBTP. The balanced and matched file overshot it: 2 of its 3 decodes (Opus 128, Vorbis 96, AAC 256) were above the line, the worst at +0.01 dBTP (our re-measurement of 2026-10-30). The script records the instruction of 2026-10-02: "if it needs to be done, then do it".1.75 dB of loudness. The delivered file measures -11.81 LUFS-I.
Left untouched
No high shelf and no low shelf.
No broadband compressor: it took the loudness range from 5.54 to 4.12 LU and short-term variance from 2.62 to 1.82.
No width processing; correlation 0.792 to 0.785 (source to chain output), 0.785 in the delivered file. Mono-below was not needed.
No added noise bed, spectral reference matching or codec round trip in the audio path (dither and the head and tail envelope match excepted).
