BABA MASTER is an AI mastering plugin that runs inside a digital audio workstation. It listens to the loudest part of a stereo instrumental or finished mix with vocals, creates a starting master, and accepts change requests in the user’s language. Manual controls cover EQ, dynamics, Smart EQ, stereo, exciter, and maximizer processors, with loudness targets available. Audio processing remains local inside the DAW; AI conversation sends messages, measurements, and settings to the AI service rather than the audio. The sound engine and manual controls work offline, while AI conversation needs internet access and has daily fair-use limits. Windows 10 or later and macOS 11 or later are supported through VST3, with AU also listed for macOS. Named hosts include Logic Pro, FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, REAPER, and GarageBand. A 14-day full trial needs no card. The listed plan is a €49 one-time payment, including lifetime sound-engine use and free 1.x updates.
