Use when the user is finishing a track and wants to check it's ready to send to a mastering engineer or for self-mastering. Audits headroom, peak levels, mono compatibility, frequency balance, LUFS. Examples - "is this ready to master?", "audit my mix before export", "check my levels".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Mastering Prep Pre-master audit. Confirm the mix is in a clean state for either external mastering or self-mastering. Does NOT apply final mastering — that's a separate workflow with explicit user intent. ## Workflow ### 1. Read the master bus - `get_track_info` for master - `get_device_parameters` for any plugins on master - Check current peak level, RMS, LUFS if available ### 2. Run the audit checklist For each item, mark ✅ pass or ❌ fail with the specific reading: | Check | Target | What to look for | | --- | --- | --- | | **Peak level** | -3 to -6 dB | Master should have headroom — never above -1 dB | | **No master limiter active for export-to-mastering** | Off | Mastering engineer wants raw mix; remove limiter from master | | **No master compressor over 2 dB GR** | <2 dB | Heavy mastering compression on a pre-master is destructive | | **LUFS integrated** | -16 to -20 LUFS for pre-master | Too loud = no headroom for mastering | | **Mono compatibility** | All elements audible in mono | Toggle Utility's mono switch — verify nothing disappears | | **Phase coherence** | Above 0.0 (positive) | Use Spectrum or Stereo & Phase — dips below 0 = destructive cancellation | …

How to install
mdr add glincker/ableton-skills/mastering-prep@sha256:09dca15c458a41fcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.d8961b6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
