Through-chain preview is a softened Web Audio sketch — it skips width, serial comps, and true de-ess. Dial the written chain in your DAW and finish by ear.

Vocal signature

Measured from the vocal region — what dialed every stage. Tap any box for a plain-English definition.

Instruments

Mix-job cues from balance measurements — not per-instrument stems.

Switch to Instrumental or Full mix and re-run for bed cues — or Split for real stems.
