Tools & capabilities

Magic Master — Audio Mastering tools 11

  • get_service_infoWhat Magic Master does, what is free, what costs a token, and where the rules live. Call once at the start of a session.
  • list_presetsAll 24 mastering presets with their target loudness in LUFS. Gives the exact keys that `master_track` and `batch_master` accept.
  • get_pricingLive token packs and payment methods (RUB). Prices are read live, not quoted from memory.
  • check_limitsToken balance, free quota left and when it resets, upload cap, whether PRO modules are available.
  • analyze_trackIntegrated LUFS, sample peak, duration, sample rate and stereo correlation, without processing. True peak and loudness range come back from `get_job` after mastering.
  • clean_ai_traceStrips the Suno / Udio AI generator fingerprint; loudness and tone stay as they are. Returns a job id.
  • preview_stylesMasters the middle 24 seconds in 2–6 presets at once and returns each one's loudness and a listen link.
  • master_trackMasters one track. Costs 1 token when the account has a balance; otherwise it runs on the free quota without PRO modules. Returns a job id. Pass `dry_run=true` to see the price and effective settings first.
  • batch_masterMasters up to 10 tracks in one call with the same settings. `album_mode` (default `true`) keeps relative loudness between tracks. Returns one job id per track.
  • get_jobStatus, progress and result metrics (`after_lufs`, `true_peak_db`, `lra`, `platform_ready`) for a mastering, cleanup or preview job. Includes a signed `download_url` when a master is done.
  • create_topup_linkPrepares a token checkout for the human. The agent cannot complete the payment itself.
