OBJECTIVE MIX COMPARISON

A/B Loudness Matching

Compare mix revisions with matched volume levels so your ears hear the real changes in tone, punch, and balance instead of being tricked by volume differences.

Sabes Pro A/B Loudness Matching Interface

Why Volume Differences Trick Your Ears

Human hearing naturally interprets louder sounds as having fuller low end, clearer highs, and more energy. When comparing two different mix passes, a slight 1 dB increase in volume can fool your brain into thinking the louder version sounds better, even if the snare is harsh or the vocal sits too low in the mix. Sabes Pro removes this guesswork by automatically balancing the volume when you switch between mix revisions.

Honest A/B Switching

When you toggle between Version A and Version B, Sabes Pro matches their perceived loudness in real time. You can instantly hear whether your new compressor settings, drum EQ adjustments, or bus processing actually improved the track or just made it louder.

Blind Testing Mode for Unbiased Decisions

After working on a mix for hours, ear fatigue makes it easy to second-guess yourself. Turn on Blind Test mode to switch between two mix versions without knowing which one is currently playing. By judging purely by ear rather than looking at version labels, you make faster, more confident decisions on your final master.

Direct Client Review Support

Play back two different mix directions for an artist or client with matched volume. It keeps the conversation focused on musical balance and emotional impact rather than whoever pushed their limiter hardest.
