Master_me is an automatic audio mastering plugin designed specifically for live streaming and internet radio applications. It enhances audio quality in real time, ensuring broadcasts sound polished and professional without requiring manual intervention. This plugin addresses the common challenges faced by online streams, delivering consistent and clear sound for various live events.

The development of master_me began in response to the shift towards digital events during the 2020 lockdowns, when many concerts and conferences moved online with subpar audio quality. Created by Berlin-based audio engineer Klaus Scheuermann, who brought nearly two decades of mastering experience, the plugin was initially designed to improve open source streaming sound. Its early use at Stanford's CCRMA Institute during the 'Quarantine Sessions' helped refine its capabilities for electro-acoustic performances.

Since its initial release, master_me has evolved into a user-friendly tool that supports a wide range of live streaming scenarios. It received funding from a German open source software initiative in 2022, underscoring its commitment to accessible audio mastering technology. The stable version has been available since September 2022, providing reliable and high-quality audio enhancement for internet radio and live broadcast producers.
