Is automatic online mastering any good?
Mastering Engineer Ian Shepherd, who recently shared a series of videos on creating a home mastering studio, looks at LANDR, an instant online mastering service.
In the video, Shepherd tests the service out, using the song Choices by Project Divide, discusses the pros and cons of the results and compares it to a version of the song that he mastered himself.
His takeaway? LANDR can’t replace the experience and judgement that a mastering engineer brings to the job, but you can try it yourself for free and may find it a solution for some uses.
