Changelog
Everything user-visible that ships in Soneam, with dates. Built in public by one engineer, shipping most weeks.
July 2026
Free tools, shareable results, and a bigger guide library
- New free tool: Will Spotify turn down your master? Drop a file and see the exact per-platform normalization, with a shareable result card. Runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.
- New free tool: Fair Loudness A/B. Compare two masters at matched loudness (ITU-R BS.1770) with a blind mode, fully in-browser.
- Share buttons and dedicated social cards on every tool and guide.
- Four new guides: client sign-off, private delivery, delivery formats, and why louder sounds better.
June 2026
Public launch, and the delivery paper trail
- Soneam opens to everyone.
- SHA-256 checksums recorded for every delivery, so what the client downloads provably matches what you rendered.
- Printable approval record: who approved which version, and when.
- Approval confirmation emails, a request-changes flow, and approval withdrawal.
- Album-wide approval and one-click ZIP delivery.
- Download notifications and link read receipts, so receipt is a fact rather than a claim.
June 2026
The loudness engine
- Streaming loudness preview in the player and in client review links: hear your master as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, Tidal, Amazon, and Deezer will play it, true-peak ceilings included.
- Fair Loudness in the player: switch versions level-matched, so the louder one can't fool anyone's ear. Level only, the audio is untouched.
- Deep metering: LUFS over time, dynamic range, PLR and PSR, and true peak measured with 4x oversampling.
- Real-time output meter that shows the actual level after preview gain and Fair Loudness.
June 2026
Faster, bigger uploads
- Direct-to-cloud uploads with files up to 600 MB.
- Branded email for every notification, and reliability logging so a failed email is never silent.
May 2026
The core workflow
- Projects, tracks, and versions with lossless FLAC playback and waveform-pinned comments.
- No-login client review links, recorded approvals, and password-protected delivery.
- Comment carry-over: open feedback follows the track into the next version, so nothing gets lost between rounds.
