Ark Summit interface

A simplified web version of Ark Summit’s SIMPLE face, running in your browser. Sound only plays after you press Play.

What it does
  • Reorderable chain: 6-band minimum/linear-phase M/S EQ, 4-band dynamics with upward and punch modes, multiband imager with mono-maker, oversampled exciter, resonance tamer, true-peak maximizer with character modes and a target-LUFS mode, plus dither
  • Always-on analysis: spectrum against targets, stereo per band, LUFS / LRA / true-peak / PLR history and tonal balance bars
  • Reference A/B with up to 8 tracks — loudness-matched, with a loop region and side-by-side metrics
  • Distribution panel: preview platform loudness normalisation, codec-clip risk and mono compatibility before you export
  • MATCH to a reference or a genre target (with undo), translation checks for mono, small speaker, car, club and earbuds, delta and level-matched compare, snapshots A–D with XY morph
  • SIMPLE face: a 3D “summit” spectrum mountain against the reference ghost, with TONE, PUNCH, WIDTH and LOUD macros
