THE SAME EXCERPT
This existing comparison was rendered through SCAT Sauce v0.5.1 VST3 at 100% Amount, 85% Equalizer, 65% Stabilizer, 85% Width Match, 100% Dynamics, and +2 dB Maximizer. When Match loudness is on, the processed sample is turned down by 4.83 dB with a fixed gain adjustment. With matching on, both play at approximately −17 LUFS; no extra compression is added for matching. With matching off, processed playback and the full-level download remain at -12.2 LUFS with an independent peak estimate of approximately -1.35 dBTP. Measurements describe this 30-second sample; your result depends on your mix and settings.

Yes. Play your track and press Listen. Sauce analyzes the audio, sets a mastering starting point automatically, and checks the processed result. You can then adjust tone, EQ, dynamics, stereo width, loudness and Amount to your taste. The learned settings work beneath the manual controls, so every visible knob does not need to move. You stay in control of the finish.
The plugin includes 18 genre targets, including EDM, Dubstep, Future Bass, House, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, and more. Choose a tonal starting point and adjust by ear. Auto suggests a tonal starting point; it is not a reliable genre classifier. After Listen, changing targets recalculates your captured section.
