For musicians

Make your music sound like a record

You wrote it, you played it, you recorded it. This is the part between that and other people hearing it the way you meant it.

What actually gets in the way

  • It sounds smaller than what you hear in your head

    The song is right. The recording is thinner, quieter and further away than the records you love, and nothing in the list of plugins you've tried has closed that gap. That distance is real, and it isn't a talent problem. It's a set of technical decisions nobody ever taught you to make.

  • You don't want to become an engineer

    There's a version of this where you spend two years learning to mix instead of writing. Some people should take it. If you're not one of them, that requirement is the actual obstacle.

  • Paying someone is a real decision every time

    A studio master is a few hundred dollars and a week of waiting, per song. For a finished album that's the right money. For the demo you want to send someone on Tuesday, it means the demo just goes out sounding like a demo.

The workflow

How it goes

  1. 01

    Put the song in

    Drag in whatever you have — a bounce from your recording software, a voice memo, a mix a friend sent you. Euphona listens to the whole thing before it touches anything.

  2. 02

    Hear what it would do

    You get your song back, changed, at the same volume as the original — so you're comparing the sound, not the loudness. Flip between them as many times as you like. If it isn't better, that's an answer too, and it didn't cost you anything to find out.

  3. 03

    Fix what is in the way

    If the vocal is buried, pull the song apart and turn it up. If there is a hiss under the quiet bit, take the hiss out. If the second chorus is flat in the same two places every time, tune those two places. Each of those is a thing you can now just do.

  4. 04

    Take it when you are happy

    Listening is free, on your own songs, for as long as it takes to be sure. You pay when you want the file — one song at a time, or a plan if you're making a lot of them.

Questions

What people ask before starting

Do I need to know anything technical?
No. You put the song in and listen to what comes back, side by side with what you had, at the same volume. If you like it better, keep it. Everything with a number on it is set for you, and you can ignore all of it.
What if it makes my song worse?
Then you don't use it, and it cost you nothing to find out. Listening is free — the comparison happens before you pay for anything, and the original is never touched or overwritten.
Does it work on a rough demo, or does the song have to be finished?
It works on either, but it can only work with what is there. It can make a finished song sound like a record. It cannot put a vocal you never recorded into a demo, and it cannot rescue a take that went wrong at the microphone.
Is my music used to train anything?
No. Your recordings are private, nobody here listens to them, and they are never used to train anything without you deciding separately that they can. That is a promise in our privacy policy, not a setting we might change.
What do I actually get back?
The finished audio, in the formats a distributor or a streaming service will take, plus a plain description of what changed. You can keep the original alongside it and change your mind later.
