Platinum Notes’ special multiband compression algorithm repairs any clipped peaks in the waveform. Platinum Notes first analyzes track volume and uses multiband expansion and/or compression to achieve a consistent output volume, which you can configure if you don’t like the default template. Once you set your preferences, all you need to do is open the program, drag music into its window, and wait for the results. Like Mixed in Key, which detects and tags audio files for their tempo and musical key, Platinum Notes’ processes are fully automatic, with default settings that will work for many use cases, as well as some configurable options. Six years later, Platinum Notes 4 sticks with the original plan, with some new processing and options to make the software even more flexible and yield better results. It both boosts tracks that have been mastered at a low volume, and tames tracks that are mastered too hot. PLATINUM POLISHĪfter Mixed In Key helped make harmonic mixing accessible to DJs with its eponymous software, the small software company based in Miami introduced Platinum Notes in 2007 with the goal of making a DJ’s digital music collection a cohesive volume, where all the audio files will be better prepared to be played together, without clipping or distortion. Rather, it’s a utilitarian workflow tool that many professionals have found worthy of adding to their track-preparation routine. It’s not a magical, one-click solution to make everything suddenly sound way more awesome. The Bottom Line: Platinum Notes effectively cleans up clipped audio and adjusts the volume of your music collection to a standard level without altering the dynamics of the tracks. The Bad: High price compared to other Mixed In Key utilities. Several new output formats available, including lossless. The Good: High-grade processing using iZotope technology and proprietary algorithms. System Requirements: Mac OS 10.6 or higher / Windows XP or higher This software can fix audio clipping and set your music at consistent volume levels to make mixing songs from various sources a smoother experience. Yet your prep routine may be missing a step if you’re not using Platinum Notes. Track preparation: the decidedly unsexy aspect of professional DJing that almost always pays off in the end.
