Or you can select a genre-specific preset, all of which were created using sonic profiles from commercially successful tracks. Anything within ±3dB represents a very similar tonal balance.

This is a nice tool!

This is a nice tool that really helps me identify issues while mastering. I’ve completed one project with it and mixroom combined and I’m very pleased with the results

This Is An Honest Critic

Expose does not just point out problems in my music, it offers clear suggestions that takes what I thought was 'good enough' and leaves me happily surprised at how much better, cleaner and immersive the finished product becomes via these powerful and intuitive tools from MTM.

Essential Daily Tool

I use EXPOSE 2 daily and it's fantastic for dropping in rough mixes and A/B'ing them as I develop the arrangements. It’s also the first thing I reach for for an instant overview of LUFS and dynamics.

Absolutely necessary

It's one of those plugins that's essential. A fantastic tool for checking the final result of the mix. To make it perfect, it would be incredibly useful if it could read video files, saving me the trouble of exporting a separate WAV file.

Smoothest plugin out there

Love this plugin so much it's like having a pro engineer that instantly spots your weaknesses in the overall mix so I always now where Im headed. I belive that maybe the only small weakness of this plugin are the suggestions that are generic answers, not very surgical in textual/speaking way but always precise in maintaining the wanted standards.

Paul Mex
Good plugin and well worth getting

Good plugin to check you are on track (no pun intended). However, sometimes being wrong can be innovative and what you are actually after. Ultimately, use your ears, but this is certainly a great tool and very helpful.

Game changer!!!! Seriously good

The expose 2 plugin is so good for checking where your mix is falling apart. Sometimes those cuts and changes are not needed, this shows you exactly where and what is needed. I used it on my 2 latest tracks and the simplicity of use is amazing, but the results where truly brilliant, game me a real starting point where to change things and where things were good. The settings for individual platforms makes a whole lots of difference and saves so much time with the recommendations it gives. 5 star, every plugin has been and this is no different. Keep up the great work Mastering the Mix

Great for evaluating final master before uploading. You can also see the eq curve from references.

All in all it's a very good app

For someone who is more a musician with a home studio and less of a sound engineer , it takes some learning curve to understand and grasp all the concepts behind the app.
for instance , if I follow the exact procedures like in your walk through video, I get really strange results and it takes several tries to tweak the audio properly.

Brandt Parks
Excellent for referencing and refining!

Such a great and user-friendly tool to have. A/B various mixes, instant feedback and suggestions, EQ analysis, loudness matching, and more. Super useful!

Comparison got simple!

When you want to compare a bunch of songs OR just different mixes of your own production OR check for the integrity of your album - simply launch the app and load your desired tracks to see all crucial aspects. You can believe your ears but it's always good to just see things on a graph or in numbers. Expose 2 is a valuable tool.

Fantastic Tool

This Is not a plugin, it’s a standalone app and it’s awesome. Theres nothing else like it although has similarities to the old Ozone when it was a standalone app. After finishing mastering an album I can put all the songs in this app and compare all the important factors to see how close they all are and if necessary go back and make small changes. Sure this can be done individually and painstakingly but with this app its about a 10 to 1 time factor savings and has the added bonus of instantly listening to any part of any of the songs you put in back and forth very quickly to use your ear to hear differences. Cant recommend enough for the price!

Excellent co-pilot

When mixing and especially mastering, Expose is a quick and informative application. It helps to keep me on track with my chosen reference file. After few of hours of critical listening I find it helpful in making sure I haven't gone astray.

Pretty good plugin

Helps to get Integrated LUFS quickly just from uploading your audio files. Helpful tool for mastering albums to desired loudness.

Expose 2: Quality control at its finest.

I use Expose 2 to see how a song, or mixdown in a song, works out. Expose 2 can detect issues and give visual hints on how to make your mix sound good, or better, or close to perfect. Expose 2 gives valuable information to view and get insight in. Expose 2 is a good piece of software, running its analysis within reasonably fast waiting time, and is stable and does not crash. For when you want to be sure - is my mix good? - use Expose 2.

Outstanding QA Plugin

Reliable, easy and fast. It does what it says on the tin and it does it really well. No fuss, no muss, gives me accurate information in a heartbeat.

EXPOSE 2 | Audio Quality Control Application

Loudness Match

Loudness Match normalises the playback of all tracks in EXPOSE using a LUFS algorithm.

The human ear perceives louder music to have a fuller bass and more clarity in the high frequencies.

Loudness matching removes this bias, and enables you to make more informed decisions for your music.

Crucial Readings

The following measurements are presented when you load a track into EXPOSE:

Loudness - Integrated LUFS and Short-term LUFS

Peak - Decibels True Peak and Decibels Peak.

Stereo - Left right heat-map and phase heat-map.

Dynamic - Dynamic range and loudness range. 

EQ Targets You Can Trust

If EXPOSE detects that issues would arise, the section icon will turn red. Click on the section icon to isolate the issues on the waveform to see the exact location of the issues. The analysis feedback (small F next to play button) will give you specific guidance to help you hit your technical goals, whether you’re aiming for a super-loud master, or trying to optimize your music to sound great on streaming sites. 

Compare EQ

Compare EQ shows how your average tonal balance compares to your imported reference track. Or you can select a genre-specific preset, all of which were created using sonic profiles from commercially successful tracks. This will allow you to check that your music aligns with your sonic goals and isn’t too muddy, dull, thin or harsh before releasing.
