A Free Waves Mastering Alternative With No Plugins or DAW
Waves plugins are excellent, but you need a DAW, the right chain, the know-how, and a licence or subscription to use them. MixMasterAI masters your track in the browser, free, with none of that setup.
The problem with Waves:
Mastering with Waves means owning a DAW, buying or subscribing to plugins, and knowing how to build a mastering chain yourself. For an artist who just wants a finished master, that is a lot of cost and learning.

3 Reasons to Switch from Waves
No DAW, no plugin chain, no learning curve.
Waves plugins only run inside a DAW, and you still have to know which ones to load and how to set them. MixMasterAI does the chain for you. Upload a file, pick a genre and platform, download a master.
Free instead of a licence or subscription.
Waves sells plugins outright or through a subscription, and a full mastering setup adds up fast. MixMasterAI is free with no licence, no subscription, and no per-track cost.
Built for AI music out of the box.
A Waves chain treats an AI track like any other recording. MixMasterAI's AI Humanizer first corrects the specific artifacts Suno, Udio, and Mureka leave behind, then masters, so the result sits right on a playlist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is MixMasterAI as good as a Waves mastering chain?
For streaming releases and normal listening, MixMasterAI's automated chain produces excellent, competitive results. A hand-built Waves chain in the hands of an experienced engineer has a higher ceiling for detailed studio work. For a fast, free, finished master, MixMasterAI is the simpler path.
Do I need a DAW to use MixMasterAI?
No. MixMasterAI runs entirely in your browser. There is no DAW, no plugin, and nothing to install. Waves plugins require a DAW to host them.
Can MixMasterAI master a track I would normally run Waves plugins on?
Yes. Export your mix as a WAV or MP3 and upload it. MixMasterAI applies EQ, dynamics, saturation, stereo, limiting, and LUFS normalization automatically, then returns a 24-bit WAV and 320 kbps MP3.
