What does AUDIO COMPARE do?
AUDIO COMPARE is a standalone Windows application for musicians, producers and mixing and mastering users who want to compare different versions of the same song.
Load an original reference and multiple comparison versions, then listen on one shared playback timeline. Switch between tracks without restarting playback so you can judge the same musical passage across different mixes or masters.
Hold a comparison track to hear it temporarily. Release it to return to the latched track, or to the original reference when no track is latched. Use Latch for sustained listening, and choose another track as the original reference whenever needed. Manual timing offsets help align versions with different starting positions.
Optional loudness matching reduces level differences during listening. Synchronized original and comparison displays, stereo output meters, and source LUFS and true-peak information provide visual context alongside your listening decisions.
Rate versions from one to five stars and sort the comparison list by rating while keeping the original reference pinned. Save and reopen .crcompare projects containing file references, ratings, the selected reference, timing offsets and sorting preferences. Changes to a named project are saved automatically. Your original audio files remain unchanged and must remain available at their saved locations.
Import WAV, FLAC and MP3 files. The interface is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese.
