What Ninja AB does
The plugin sits on the master bus and captures the live project as it plays, so the mix can be switched against references without leaving the session. Section tagging lets intro, verse, chorus and drop be marked once on both the mix and the references, and four sync modes run from simple section seek to bar-for-bar position mapping or beat-matched playback. Automatic loudness matching at LUFS level keeps comparisons fair by default. Ninja AB is offered as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with native Apple Silicon support listed.
Key features
- Live project capture. The master bus is captured while the project plays, so the mix and its references are heard in the same session.
- Section tagging and sync. Sections such as intro, verse, chorus and drop are tagged once and reused across references, with four sync modes for matching position.
- Three visual overviews. Waveform shape, RMS true loudness and a multiband view show the mix and each reference side by side.
- Metering suite. Peak, true peak, VU, RMS, K-14, K-20 and momentary and short-term LUFS are shown next to the automatic loudness matching.
- Gapless reference switching. Up to nine reference tracks can be held per instance and switched instantly without gaps.
