When Waves Online Mastering is the better choice
- You master a lot of tracks a year. The unlimited plan at $169.99 a year costs less per track than our packs once you master more than about a hundred songs a year.
- You like to steer the sound. Style, tone and reference controls let you shape the master yourself.
- You already use Waves plugins. One account for plugins and online mastering.
When Echoteka fits better
- You want to hear the whole master free. Echoteka's free daily master is the full track, ready to download — not a 30-second preview.
- Your song comes from Suno or another AI generator. The cleanup step targets the metallic ringing and watery highs these models leave behind — see AI artifact cleanup.
- You release a handful of songs. Packs from €1.56 a track and a free master every day, with no subscription.
- You want proof in numbers. Every master comes with a before/after report — see what the report shows.
What we found in Suno exports
We measured 248 Suno exports uploaded for mastering. Most are not too loud for Spotify — the median is −14.3 LUFS and only 6% are louder than −10 LUFS. The bigger issue is dynamics: 40% have a loudness range under 5 LU. A good master for a Suno song is less about loudness and more about clean highs and controlled dynamics. Full data: Suno loudness report.
Compare them on your own track
- Upload your track on Waves Online Mastering and listen to the free 30-second preview.
- Master the same file on Echoteka with today's free master.
- Measure both in the free LUFS checker, then compare them at the same loudness. A louder file always sounds “better” at first — match loudness before you judge.
Also compared: LANDR, eMastered, BandLab Mastering, Masterchannel and iZotope Ozone.
