Matchering is a web application and Python library for audio matching and mastering. It follows a simple idea – you take TWO audio files and feed them into Matchering. TARGET (the track you want to master, you want it to sound like the reference) and REFERENCE (another track, like some kind of “wet” popular song, you want your target to sound like it). The algorithm matches both of these tracks and provides you the mastered TARGET track with the same RMS, FR, peak amplitude and stereo width as the REFERENCE track has. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Matchering on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Matchering 2.0.6 release.

• STEP 2

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your Synology NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

• STEP 3

Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it matchering. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 4

Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 5

In the Name field type in matchering. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Portainer Stacks Web editor.

version: "3.9"
services:
  matchering:
    container_name: Metchering
    image: sergree/matchering-web
    mem_limit: 2g
    cpu_shares: 768
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    restart: on-failure:5
    ports:
      - 4571:8360
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/matchering:/app/data:rw

• STEP 6

Scroll down on the page until you see a button named Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.

• STEP 7

If everything goes right, you will see the following message at the top right of your screen: “Success Stack successfully deployed“.

• STEP 8

Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂

• STEP 9

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://Synology-ip-address:4571
You have to upload two audio files and feed them into Matchering; TARGET (the track you want to master, you want it to sound like the reference) and REFERENCE (another track, like some kind of “wet” popular song, you want your target to sound like it). Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 10

Listen to the Original and the Matchering version of your audio file, then download it in the .WAV format, 16-bits or 24-bits. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Enjoy Matchering!
