VIRTU is a modern assisted audio mastering processor and web/desktop application developed by Slate Digital. Designed to bridge the gap between quick DIY home mastering and professional mastering suites, it analyzes stereo mix files using machine learning models calibrated with Slate Digital's legacy analog-emulation algorithms. It is widely used across Afrobeats, hip-hop, pop, EDM, rock, and cinematic scoring to boost mix clarity, optimize dynamic range, control peak levels, and add competitive loudness for streaming distribution.

The engine analyzes audio across key parameters including Peak, RMS, dynamic range, and multi-band spectral balance. Rather than forcing complex sub-menus, VIRTU provides dynamic macro control over three core modules: Frequency Balance (Gentle, Default, Deep lows / Smooth, Default, Bright highs), Compression (Unchanged, Balanced, Punchy, Aggressive), and Stereo Imaging (Balanced vs. Wider). Key features include Reference Track Matching (importing a reference WAV file to replicate its target EQ curve and loudness balance), multiple loudness target presets (Streaming Standard -14 LUFS, All Round -11 LUFS, CD Level -8 LUFS), real-time A/B previewing, and seamless syncing between the standalone desktop application and the web platform. VIRTU is available as a web platform and desktop application included with the Slate Digital / All Access Pass (Complete Access) subscription or standalone per-track master credits.
