HanoLab Mastering review
A web-based AI mastering option for high-volume creators who need reference-led results.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HanoLab Mastering is a web-based AI audio mastering tool for musicians, producers, and creators. It accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, and M4A stereo mixes, then can match a reference track’s loudness and tonal balance or target a selectable streaming loudness setting. The workflow sits inside HanoLab’s broader music-production canvas, making it a fit for solo artists and small teams that want cloud-based mastering alongside other music tools.
Pricing is credit-based, with one credit used per master. The Free plan includes 30 credits per month, up to 5 Studio tracks per month, and watermarked MP3 export. Starter costs $19.90 per month and provides 300 credits, lossless WAV export, and a commercial license. Creator is $49.90 per month with 800 credits, unlimited compose canvas sessions, and a Developer API. Pro is $89.90 per month with 1,800 credits, API access, and a priority queue. Starter, Creator, and Pro also have annual billing options. The credit model suits frequent mastering, while credits shared across HanoLab tools may require planning when using multiple services.
Its standout workflow combines reference matching, streaming-platform loudness targets, and 24-bit WAV output in a browser-based process. Upload flexibility is useful, but the scope remains focused on stereo mixes rather than stem mastering. Email and documentation support are available, and the service runs in the cloud. Choose HanoLab Mastering if you need recurring web mastering, reference-led tonal control, and lossless delivery. Choose an alternative if you need desktop access, stem-based processing, or a workflow centered on local production.
