talkback.se is where a mix gets settled. This is its app: everything you were doing at the desk, carried out to the sofa, the bus and the car. ONE CLOCK, EVERY VERSION A and B and C play on the same clock and only one of them is audible. Switching is a gain change, not a seek, so the comparison happens mid bar with no gap and no restart. That is the whole point of the thing, and it is what makes the difference between two mixes obvious in two seconds rather than two minutes. THE WHOLE RECORD, IN ORDER Album projects play through in sequence, with the levels exactly as they sit. Transitions plays only the seams, the last seconds of one song into the first of the next, with the CD gap if you want it, so you can hear a running order rather than imagine it. SAY IT AT THE SECOND IT HAPPENS Comments carry a timestamp. Tap one and you are at that moment in that version. Reply, react, and edit what you wrote. The conversation is the same one as on the website, live, not a copy, and new comments are marked as new. WHERE EVERY VERDICT STANDS Each version wears its verdict, approved or not, so you can see what has been settled and what is still open before you put the phone down. The final yes is given on the website, on real speakers. SHARE WITHOUT LOSING THE REINS Make a link from the phone and decide what it allows: comment, approve, download, an expiry date, a password, or just the one song. Existing links are listed with what they have seen. IN THE CAR CarPlay shows your projects and song

Burnish takes a song you made with an AI music tool and makes it sound finished. AI generators leave marks. The top end stops dead around 16 kHz. There is a haze in the mids and a lump of mud around 350 Hz. The stereo image is narrow. You can hear it on good headphones, and so can the people who decide what gets playlisted. Burnish finds those problems, fixes them, then masters the track to streaming loudness. All of it happens on your iPhone or iPad. No upload, no account, no waiting in a queue. WHAT YOU GET Repair first, then master. Burnish rebuilds the missing top end, clears the mud, and opens the stereo image before it touches loudness. Most mastering apps skip this part. Six dials. Intensity, tone, bass, width, dynamics, de-ess. Turn one and Burnish runs the full chain again in seconds. Free, as many times as you like. Reference match. Pick a song from Files. Burnish reads its tone and loudness and shapes your track to sit beside it. A fair A/B. Before and After play at the same loudness, so you judge the tone and not the volume. It shows its work. Every EQ move, every dB of compression, the limiter's numbers. You can read exactly what changed and why. No black box. Loudness targets that mean something. Streaming, YouTube, Dynamic, or Club. True peak held at -1 dBTP so nothing clips after upload. 18 genre profiles. R&B, hip-hop, pop, rock, house, techno, drum and bass, reggaeton, country, metal, ambient, jazz, classical and more. Each one tuned by ear, not by a preset name. Share the before and after. A 15 second vertical video with the spectrum, the score, and the numbers. Made for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Also a plugin. Burnish runs as an AUv3 effect inside GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad and other AUv3 hosts, so you can hear the master while you arrange. Export a 24-bit WAV, ready for any distributor. HOW IT IS PRICED Your first master is free, no card, no sign-up. After that, one purchase unlocks the app for good. No subscription. No monthly fee. No credits. PRIVACY Your music never leaves your device. Burnish does not upload audio, does not train on your songs, and does not need an account. Burnish is made by a musician who got tired of paying a subscription to master songs that still sounded like demos. It works on any track, AI-made or not.
