When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. Masterchannel is named in these steps:
- Mix and master, step 4 of 5, when at least $40 is left for it: Artist ($15/mo billed yearly only ($180 a year)); the step also names eMastered, Waves Online Mastering, LANDR and RoEx Automix, and the best score takes it.
- Mix and master, step 5 of 5, otherwise: Artist ($15/mo billed yearly only ($180 a year)); the step also names LANDR, iZotope Ozone, eMastered, Waves Online Mastering and RoEx Automix, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
