We present an analysis of a dataset of audio metrics and aesthetic considerations about mixes and masters providedby the web platform MixCheck studio. The platform is designed for educational purposes, primarily targetingamateur music producers, and aimed at analysing their recordings prior to them being released. The analysisfocuses on the following data points: integrated loudness, mono compatibility, presence of clipping and phaseissues, compression and tonal profile across 30 user-specified genres. Both mixed (mixes) and mastered audio(masters) are included in the analysis, where mixes refer to the initial combination and balance of individualtracks, and masters refer to the final refined version optimized for distribution. Results show that loudness-relatedissues along with dynamics issues are the most prevalent, particularly in mastered audio. However mastered audiopresents better results in compression than just mixed audio. Additionally, results show that mastered audio has alower percentage of stereo field and phase issues.

A dataset of mix and master analyses for the AES publication titled "Exploring Trends in Audio Mixes and Masters: Insights from a Dataset Analysis."
