Afro house mastering that keeps the percussion alive and moving.
Afro house is built on layered percussion, organic textures and a warm, rolling low end. A master that squashes transients kills the groove first. ZERRRO Engine lets you hear the difference while you shape it.
The engine’s default for Afro House: loud enough for the club, with the percussion transients intact.
Log drum music sounds best a little quieter. The Amapiano profile in the same genre group aims lower.
Streaming platforms normalise, so the streaming master keeps more of the groove.
What an afro house master has to protect
Every shaker, conga and tom has its own transient. The master adds level around them, not through them.
Percussion with its attack intact
The groove is in the first milliseconds of every hit. Heavy limiting shaves those off and the track stops moving.
Warm low end, not boomy
Afro house bass is round and melodic. The master adds weight without letting the low mids cloud the percussion.
Vocals and chants that sit forward
Vocal chants and leads carry the hook. They need presence without turning harsh at club volume.
Hear it. Shape it. Then decide.
Upload & check
Bit depth, sample rate, true peak, clipping and loudness of your premaster are measured in seconds. If the file is already limited or clipping, you find out before anything is processed.
Pick Afro & Latin → Afro House
The engine uses a reference profile built from released afro house and adapts it to your mix. Amapiano, Afro Melodic and Latin Electronic are separate profiles in the same group.
Shape it while it plays
Choose a warm or balanced character, drag the EQ dots, or type “more air on the shakers, softer low mids”. Auto sets the loudness for the genre.
A/B and decide
Compare the master with your mix at matched loudness, read the measured LUFS and true peak, and render again for free if it is not there yet. You pay only when you download.

Questions producers ask
How loud should an afro house master be?
Around −8.5 LUFS integrated for the club is what the engine’s Auto setting picks for Afro House; Amapiano sits nearer −10. The limiter ceiling is 0 dBTP at club loudness; for streaming, around −14 LUFS at −1 dBTP.
Will it flatten my percussion?
You hear the master while you shape it and compare it with your mix at matched loudness. If transients suffer, choose a softer character or lower the loudness.
Is there a profile for Amapiano?
Yes, Amapiano is its own subgenre in the Afro & Latin group, with a lower loudness target.
Is it free?
