Built for studio listening

Who ARADAR is for

ARADAR is the music player for producers, mixing and mastering engineers, and media composers on macOS. You play your collection with key, BPM, Camelot code, and integrated LUFS on screen. You run listening checks from the player bar, drag any file into your DAW, and compare finished tracks against the labels in your library.

Four workflows sit in one window:

  • Player-bar checks and loudness matching. Scrub the waveform, loop a section, solo one of six frequency bands, and fold to mono, side, or a phone speaker (300–4,000 Hz). Turn on loudness matching to pull louder masters down to −14 LUFS while leaving quieter bounces untouched.
  • Library filters and DAW drag-out. Watch your music and bounce folders, stack filters by key, Camelot code, BPM, LUFS, label, year, and custom tags, and drag the original file straight into your DAW.
  • Label profiles and custom curves. Build a median 10-band frequency curve and ±1σ corridor from three or more tracks on any label or reference set. Overlay your finished bounce to see how its spectrum, loudness, and tempo line up.
  • Demo submission log. Log every demo you send, the label’s reply, and follow-up dates next to the track itself.
