about Vanity Lite.

vanity lite is a free mastering plugin. it listens to your track, analyzes how it sounds, then creates a custom master for it. time was spent making every part of vanity’s engine powerful, and it will keep getting better through future updates. it cannot make a bad mix sound good, but it can easily enhance your track and bring out all of its character. use vanity as your main mastering tool or simply to improve a mix. vanity pro is also coming later with a full in-depth editor and more control.

is it completely free?

Yes. You just need to login or create an account to download it.

does vanity lite use ai?

Vanity Lite does not use AI or any trained machine-learning model to analyze your tracks.

can it fix my mix?

it can't "fix" a mix, but it will enhance what you already have. it can make your mix hit harder, bring out some frequencies that are lacking, or lower certain parts that are too loud.

can i use it on more than full songs?

yes. you can use this on vocals, drums, and other instruments. vanity is naturally designed to make audio sound "louder" so you will need to turn down the fader or use the mix knob in vanity.

does it work with my daw?

vanity works in any daw that accepts au or vst3. it will not work in pro tools.

how is vanity different from other mastering plugins?

it reads your audio differently than other plugins and uses its own engine.

why isn't my song getting loud enough?

vanity lite works best with a balanced mix. if the song has lots of inconsistencies the results will vary.

an example of the kick overpowering the rest of the song.

how much headroom does vanity need?

for best results bring your mix down around -10db. that gives vanity room to boost parts of your song.
