# Proven master methods

This is the handoff. These are the sources. NLPSTAX is not in here. API keys are not in here. The headless plugin host is not in here.

## Law
- md/01-mastering-handshake-SKILL.md
- Order: audit, de-AI, vocal-over-instrumental mix, combined WAV, then LANDR.app.
- Targets: −9.6 LUFS, −1.0 dBTP, unless a named song overrides them.
- Vocal compressed hard. Instrumental dipped 1–2 dB at 1–3 kHz. Rides. Then the WAV.
- Do not stamp LANDR if LANDR.app did not run.
- LANDR AU and VST stay unloaded.

## Live insert
- md/02-landr-master-live-SKILL.md
- py/ is ~/JJ-PROJECTS/landr-master-live with the virtualenv left out.
- Pedalboard only. Route djay Pro to BlackHole 2ch to this insert to the PA. Insert only.

## De-AI and this Mac
- md/03-cipher-deai.md is the cipher chain. Shimmer noise-resynth is not for that record.
- md/04-fl-studio-m2-8gb.md is the 8 GB mix setup.
