Blackbox

Audio tracks may not sound as good as you want, but thanks to modern software applications, this particular issue can be solved without any difficulties. An excellent example is Blackbox, which gives you a good degree of control over the sound of your audio tracks, but without burdening you with complex menus and options. Thanks to its straightforward design, you can give your music those finishing touches, to make it sound more natural, in just a few minutes, without getting caught in complicated settings.

A trial version is available, with some limitations, but you can still test the software's main capabilities. It works on all modern Windows platforms and it doesn't ask for any special codecs or drivers. The software comes in a small package and it can be installed in just a few seconds, without making any complicated configurations.

Unlike other audio processing utilities, Blackbox presents a fairly simple user interface. Once you import an audio file, its waveform will immediately show up in the upper part of the window. At this point, you can start your adjustments right away, by rotating a series of knobs, located beneath the waveform. You can increase or decrease the track's lower frequency cut, its clarity, body level, loudness and tweak other aspects.

The software lets you make adjustments on the entire track or on a specific segment, if you select it, by clicking and dragging on the waveform. Furthermore, if you know what you're doing, you can just make your adjustments and click a button to start processing the audio. Alternatively, you can switch from "Process" mode to "Real time", which enables you to make your adjustments as you listen to your track. Blackbox provides a series of presets as well, so you can make your tracks sound in a certain way in just a few seconds, with only a few clicks.

There are various advantages to consider when looking at Blackbox. It comes with powerful track mastering capabilities under its hood, while making everything easy to understand. The software's purpose is clear and its functionality is straightforward. Instead of getting lost on a complex interface, with countless controls, you only need to twist a few knobs or select a preset.

When it comes to audio track mastering, there is much you can do with Blackbox, while interacting with nothing but a few basic controls.
