Ninja AB

Reference like a pro, section by section

Scroll

Do you want to make great sounding tracks?

Get the perspective of a pro on each mixing decision you make. Know what the level of your vocal needs to be, how much bass to dial in and if your master is loud enough. A/B referencing, the way it should have always been.

Section Tagging & Sync

Make it simple to hear differences, by comparing a drop to a drop and a chorus to a chorus. Tagging refs is easy and you do it once. Then take it anywhere. No more re-setting cue points per preset.

Visual Overviews

Waveform, RMS, PSR (compression) and multiband views. Get a new perspective on what a finished track looks like, so you can see exactly how to make your track hit like your favs.

Live Capture

Your project audio is captured and displayed in great detail. You can scroll and zoom through the whole timeline, just like all the references. No more lost history in scrolling windows.

Level Match & Auditioning

Your reference's gain is auto-matched, and so are all the visuals. So what you see and what you hear is consistent. Stereo and sweepable band monitoring is a click away.

Referencing gives you superpowers

Why reference?

We all know that there are really no silver bullets, hacks or shortcuts when it comes to making a great piece of music. But if there's one consistent tip, a best practice, a great way to learn and improve your tracks and mixes, it is referencing. Just doing a last-minute check on your mix with a reference track you know sounds good can instantly give you the insight to make a change that improves your mix by a lot.

Ninja AB makes that process super easy and fun. Referencing section by section gives you that extra edge so the right direction becomes clear. And you'll be able to make decisions that improve the whole song, from start to finish.

How it works

Capture

Insert Ninja AB on your master and press play. Your project builds the same loudness and dynamics overview as a finished reference, so you can scroll back through the whole song at any time.

Tag

Tag the sections of your references and your project once. Ninja AB saves the metadata with the track, so your tags are ready the next time you load it.

Compare

Turn on Sync and move through your song. The reference follows section by section, level-matched and ready for a fair comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ninja AB is a reference and metering plugin for producers, mixers, and mastering engineers. It captures your own project like a finished track and lets you A/B it against songs you know and love. The important difference is section sync: you can compare chorus to chorus, drop to drop, build to build, instead of jumping around manually.

Two things. First, Ninja AB captures and visualizes your live project the same way it shows your references, so you can compare like with like. Second, it syncs by song structure, not just by timeline position. That means the reference can follow the right section even when the arrangements are different.

You tag the parts of a track: intro, verse, chorus, drop, or whatever makes sense. Ninja AB saves those tags next to the audio file, so you only need to tag a reference once. A tag can be whatever you want, as long as it's matched in the project tags.

Yes. Ninja AB matches references by loudness, so louder does not automatically feel better. You can also nudge any reference manually if you want to fine-tune the comparison.

Waveform, RMS, and multiband overviews, plus loudness (LUFS), peak, RMS, and PSR dynamics readouts and K-12, K-14, K-20, VU, and peak metering. There is also an auditioning panel with band filters and L/R/Mid/Sides stereo monitoring.

Ninja AB runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Windows 64-bit as VST3, AU, and AAX.
