LookyMaster examines your song across ten clinically-anchored frequency zones, shows you exactly what's wrong, and masters it with the fix — in your browser.
◉ Your song never leaves your computer. Nothing uploads. Ever.
Every zone boundary traces to published research.
Masters generative, hybrid, or fully human tracks the same way.
100% client-side. Zero uploads, ever.
Seven zones, physiologically anchored — not just loud.
U.S. application 64/132,904 — a method, not a preset.
Full diagnosis in seconds, right in your browser.
Two minutes, unscripted — the ten-zone diagnosis, the treat-only-the-sick mastering, the cymatic plates, live. Not a mockup: this is the actual tool, patent pending U.S. application no. 64/132,904.
◉ Live capture of the real tool — the ten-plate cymatic view reading a track. Want the full walkthrough with sound? Watch the 2-minute demo (59 MB — heavy on slow connections).

AI-generated, hybrid, or fully human — every production carries its own aberrations. Scanned closely, they resolve into artifacts that interfere with the regions where human hearing lives — and research associates energy in some bands with listening fatigue and hearing damage. Our filter system was developed from that science: find each artifact, treat it, bound the doses.
Research places listener aversion at 2.5–5.5 kHz and noise-induced hearing damage near 4 kHz. Harsh energy here fatigues every ear. Our dose caps are strictest in this band — by design, for every genre.
One slightly-off fundamental poisons every band — common in AI renders, live takes, and vintage samples alike. We detect the family and name the single root cause.
Vocals behind a blanket — the signature of home studios and generative renders both. We lift clarity below the ear-canal resonance: presence without the fatigue penalty.
Frozen, unchanging high-frequency lines that real cymbals and breath never produce — from generators, plugins, or damaged converters. Detected by physics, dipped surgically.
Neural generators are trained by phase-blind losses — so they ship faint ticks made of many small components aligning at once. Measured: 14–100× the spike density of non-neural audio. We detect the alignments and scatter them — spectrum untouched.
AI renders and heavy processing chains cut the top octave dead. A blind "air boost" amplifies silence — the honest fix is slope-matched bandwidth extension.
Your track's standing-wave patterns, drawn live per zone — voice floor at 250 Hz, the mud line at 700, the F1/F2 formant border at 1.2 k, the ear-canal resonance at 3.43 k. When a plate looks sick, the name of the plate is half the diagnosis.
Click any plate above to read its zone — example exam, the same track pictured in The Physics.
Example exam — the same track whose plates and report appear in The Physics section. Illustrative of how a report reads; your track gets its own measured numbers.

Each zone is rendered as a Chladni plate — the physics of a vibrating surface, where a tone's frequency sets the pattern's complexity by the plate law f ∝ n²+m². Low frequencies can only draw a few sweeping curves; high frequencies force fine lattices. That's why BASS blooms like a star and AIR weaves a grid — the shapes aren't styled, they're computed.

WAV, MP3, FLAC. It opens in your browser's own audio engine — our servers never see a single sample.
Seven plates, harmonicity per zone, tick census, loudness, true peak, listening-fatigue read — with healthy ranges shown next to your numbers.
Streaming spec, commercial loud, or Smart Layers — which treats only the zones that are actually sick and leaves healthy ones untouched.
Before/after table, volume-matched A/B so louder can't masquerade as better, 24-bit WAV out. Every claim measured.
● = stages that engaged on the example exam. Idle stages sit at unity — healthy material passes through them bit-transparent.
Other services upload your unreleased music to their servers. LookyMaster's entire engine runs client-side — your demos, your stems, your unreleased album stay on your machine. Not a policy promise. A physical fact.
LookyMaster was created by Dr. Willis Dennis Grajales, O.D. — a Doctor of Optometry, inventor, and researcher who spent a career measuring how the eye focuses light, applying the same discipline to how the ear receives sound.
The engine treats the 2.5–5.5 kHz listener-aversion band with documented caution, guards the 4 kHz region where noise exposure carves its notch, and refuses moves that trade short-term "impressiveness" for listening fatigue. Loud is easy. Comfortable-for-an-hour is engineering.
Where competitors ship a black box, every LookyMaster threshold traces to published research — and the diagnosis screen shows you the numbers, the healthy ranges, and the reason.
Most mastering optimizes for the first ten seconds — bright, loud, impressive on a phone speaker. What it doesn't measure is what happens by minute three: research on listening effort (Zekveld & Kramer, 2010) shows the brain works harder to process harsh, fatiguing energy, even when a listener can't consciously name why a track feels tiring. That's the problem this engine was built to see and treat — not by making tracks quieter, but by finding which specific band is doing the tiring, and bounding it.
Two plates, two different jobs. CLARITY carries intelligibility — vocals cutting through — and the engine lifts it freely. EDGE overlaps the published listener-aversion band and the frequency region associated with noise-exposure damage in the hearing-research literature, so correction there is bounded rather than pushed for impact. Same plate architecture the diagnosis screen shows you on every track — this isn't a separate "safety mode," it's the same engine, watching the same zones, every time.
LookyMaster is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any hearing condition. Its dose-capping reflects published audiology research applied to mastering decisions — bounding correction inside research-identified risk bands, at the mastering stage, rather than pursuing impact there. Actual listening exposure is governed by playback volume and duration, which this tool doesn't control. See our Terms of Service for the complete statement.
Below 20 Hz and above 20 kHz sit outside the range human hearing evolved for — infrasound and ultrasound. Neither shows up as "sound" the way a listener would describe it. But a growing body of published research finds that exposure to both bands produces measurable effects even when nobody in the room can consciously hear a thing.
A 2026 controlled study found that infrasound around 18 Hz raised salivary cortisol and produced negative emotional responses in participants who could not consciously detect the sound — the effect held regardless of what participants expected to feel. A separate systematic review of the general population found infrasound and low-frequency noise exposure associated with annoyance, sleep disruption, concentration difficulty, and headache.
A 2018 laboratory study exposed participants to very-high-frequency sound and ultrasound (13.5–20 kHz) and recorded adverse symptoms including nausea, dizziness, headache, fatigue, and tinnitus. A companion survey measured real-world ultrasound sources in public buildings — PA systems, sensors, pest deterrents — and found exposure levels exceeding existing guideline limits, guidelines the authors themselves called inadequate.
This research describes population- and laboratory-level findings, not a guarantee for any individual. LookyMaster's bandwidth filters remove infrasonic and ultrasonic content from the file itself; they cannot control other sources of infrasound or ultrasound in a listener's environment, and LookyMaster is not a medical device. See our Terms of Service.

Really. The mastering engine is delivered to your browser and runs on your computer's own processor. Your audio never crosses the network. That's also why it's fast — there's no queue.
No — the engine examines AI, hybrid, and fully human recordings the same way: scan for aberrations, diagnose each zone, treat only what fails. Detectors specific to synthetic artifacts simply stay quiet when a recording doesn't have them.
Three ways: it shows you the diagnosis instead of a black box; it's built around the specific defects of AI-generated tracks; and it runs locally, so your unreleased music stays yours.
Yes. The streaming-spec master targets −14 LUFS with a −1.0 dBTP ceiling — full playlist loudness parity with headroom to survive lossy encoding. A separate commercial-loud export covers DJs and direct downloads.
No. LookyMaster's hearing-related features reflect published audiology research applied to mastering decisions. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice.
