But if a mix is too hot or over-compressed then there is nowhere further to go! So it makes sense to reference Integrated loudness, PLR, PSR and True Peak even at the mixing stage. Plus, MasterCheck can be a great demonstration tool for those clients who might still believe that “louder is better” no matter what.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eMasterCheck supports up to 7.1.4 channels, enough to receive a Dolby Atmos bed, or other immersive, 3D and surround audio formats.
