Audit, analyze, batch report/export/convert and manage large professional critical audio inventories for broadcasting, science aural field research, post production, audio mastering, daily production line-ups and print. It combines advanced player mechanisms, library tools, issue detection and live analysis prompts with batch scanning and bulk file preparation for any professional audio department. One console to scan, play, measure, mark, report and deliver thousands of critical audio files, from hydrophone archives to immersive foley and orchestral masters. In use internally and within partner organizations since 1998, and continuously developed. Coming soon to the public.
Recorded straight from the application. No mock-ups.
Point it at a folder of field recordings and the playlist fills with peak, RMS, loudness, DC offset, clipping and tempo, while you already listen. Results are cached, so the second visit is instant.
Download as GIFSong units, sweeps and clicks in a multithreaded spectrogram with its averaged spectrum, next to true-peak and loudness meters. Mark detections as cues and export them as CUE sheets or label tracks.
Download as GIFA real-time analyzer over the waveform, loudness range and true peak while the take plays: the quick check before a mix leaves the room. Here in the bright mode, made for projectors and daylight studios.
Download as GIFThe room scope places every channel where its speaker is (7.1.4, 5.1, ADM positions, Ambisonics) and shows where the sound comes from as it moves. Footsteps circle the listener; you see them do it.
Download as GIFYou choose the levels and the files you look for with scan and session presets you manage. History aware. Get an overview of your network in seconds. Audio files are opened read-only and never touched (if not wanted [lock]), not even their dates. Markers, regions, cues and notes live in a database, or a hidden folder or sidecar files: your choice, per folder or per file.
Broadcast and science report ready. Sample and true peak, RMS, DC, clipping, BS.1770-4 integrated loudness, LRA, PLR, DR, stereo correlation, bandwidth, noise floor, mains hum, placement in the room, effective bits and lossy-origin hints. Clipping detection, bitrate inconsistencies, noisefloors, dynamic summaries: Each value names its method.
Real-time or on-pause. Live input or from files. Any you can think of. From 1 to 12 or more bands isolated. From mastering to print preparation up to science signal analysis. Spectrograms with LTAS, vector & wave scopes, nebula, wavelet scalograms, modulation spectrums, 3D room scopes and meta based sonar bearing. Placed over the live waveform (for field recorders), or own window groups for studio 2nd monitors
Split any view into 1, 3, 6 or 12 frequency bands with a flat-sum crossover: see where in the spectrum a problem lives, lane by lane.
Exclusive and ASIO output with exact routing, sample-exact loops, and gapless continuous play when the next file shares the format. Loop a region, a title or a whole playlist.
Virtualized playlists for 100,000 files, per-folder scan depths, a deep-scan switch, regex search across every tag, presets, recent folders and orphan detection for moved or renamed files.
Mark at the playhead, draw regions, add standard cue points. File cue chunks, AIFF markers and FLAC cue sheets are read; CUE sheets and label tracks are written next to your files on request.
User-editable presets and batches: web delivery with waveform peaks and chapters, EBU R128 and ATSC A/85 broadcast files, science copies with JSON, checksums and labels. Sample-exact cuts of every region or cue.
Detailed HTML and Markdown reports, analysis tables, loudness pass / fail, marker lists, integrity findings and full JSON, for one file, a region, or a whole archive.
One console, many disciplines. The same measurements, the same honesty about how they were made.
A number without its method is an opinion. Aural Console states how every value was measured, in the interface, in every report and in every export sidecar.
Open a folder. Choose how deep, per folder, or switch on Deep to search everything below. Headers and tags arrive while you browse.
Analyze the listed files: levels, loudness, dynamics, stereo, spectrum, authenticity, tempo and file integrity, cached for the next visit.
Play bit-perfect and gapless, compare in the analyzers, mark markers, regions and cues, loop a region, a title or the playlist.
Right-click a file, a region or the whole list: export presets, batches and reports with sidecars, checksums and a full log.
The essentials, page by page. Every page is plain JSON, ready to come from your own content source later.
This advanced audio tool is aimed for large scale professional user-groups and we are serious about personal life support. Therefore we sadly can not make it available for individuals. License and support plans will span from grouped recording or mastering studio bundles up to large film productions, universities, schools and research organizations.

Apply for accreditation as a professional beta user and work with Aural Console before the release. Accreditation requires really working in the professional audio field.
No. Files are opened read-only and never written, not even their timestamps. Before the app first writes anything into one of your folders (sidecar data, exports), it records the folder's original dates in a log there.
Your choice: a local database, a hidden .auralc folder, or sidecar files next to the audio, globally, per folder or per file. With sidecars you can also get standard CUE sheets and label tracks.
Yes. Presets, batches and reports are plain JSON files you edit in any text editor. The newest defaults are always kept beside them for comparison.
No. It is a fixed gain from the measured loudness of exactly what you export. If the true-peak limit prevents reaching the target, the export says so instead of hiding it.
It is a measurement and documentation tool for audio files. It is not a medical device and makes no diagnostic claims.
It is a native C++ application built for Windows first, with the same code base prepared for macOS and Linux.
