I kept running into the same wall: I'd finish a mix, upload it to an automated mastering tool, and get back something louder, with no idea what had changed or why. Sometimes it sounded better. Often it just sounded different, and the only way to compare was by ear, against a version that was 5 dB louder. That felt backwards. A good mastering engineer doesn't touch everything. They listen first, fix what's actually wrong, and leave the rest alone. So I built Auralith Forge to work that way. It measures your mix before changing anything, corrects only what needs it, then checks its own result and backs off if it went too far. Every master comes with a report of what was changed and what was kept, and the A/B is level-matched so you're judging tone, not loudness. Your mix should stay yours. Mastering should just finish the job.
