Since June 28, 4 pm, a new algorithm processes your files.

Founded in 2010, MaximalSound provides an online service for automated audio optimization based on an original algorithm. The new processing brings a little more level, a little more bass, a little more punch, and a little more air than the previous version. Last but not least, the inter-sample peaks management is now perfect. I've spent months to find the best possible solution to manage ISP without hurting audio. Enjoy.

The website offers free previews within one hour for stereo wav and aif files, 16, 24 or 32 bit from 44.1 to 96KHz. The price is related to the size of the file. A 3-minute track at CD audio format is optimized for € 5.

In addition, six new VIP offers, including volume discounts and longer previews are now available to meet the needs of producers, studios and labels.
