In a genre that needs its lead vocals to be foremost in the sound space, instead eMastered pushes the vocals behind a wall of piano chords, synth ostinatos, and a huge amount of reverb the mid-range utterly dominates, and the vocalist sounds like he’s trying to shout the lyrics from the room next door.

The Rock track ( Young and Free by Walk with Wolves) really showed up the software’s shortcomings. In the EDM, the substantial boost on the bass gave the drum machine a suitable kick to it, and the stereo-work was sufficient to provide that characteristically EDM sense of sound coming at you from all directions. Of the three tracks on offer, the EDM track ( White Flag - Remix by Collin McLoughlin) and the Hip Hop track ( Beam Me Up by Prolific) both showed the mastering in a rather positive light an expansive middle range in the Hip Hop showed how effective the mastering was at creating a sound space that could be filled with reverb and delay to give a sense of scale to the track. This was something of a double-edged sword, as it would turn out, however. So, what about eMastered? Well, they immediately earned my respect by putting their money where their mouth is they have samples of the mastering results on their front page, which you are free to compare against the original mix.

How Loud Should a Mix Be Before Mastering? The Pro plan, which will give you some of the features I mentioned, like volume matching (because, of course, they don’t come as standard), will cost you £299/y, and frankly, I just can’t see any way to justify that kind of price tag. Considering the limited customisation options and the overall lackluster result, the idea that you’d pay £49/y for the most basic plan (where you have to pay extra to download particular file-types) is… I’ll be generous and call it audacious. Price should be a major sticking point for the discerning music producer. I suspect I know why, but we’ll get there a little later… LANDR’s master itself leaves a little to be desired, and many have noted that whilst it has a nice body to the lower end of a track, the upper register feels thin, even reedy, and really out of balance with the lower end.Its options for bulk-uploading files are handy, it offers an online collaboration function, and there is even a feature to allow you to master a whole album, ensuring the mastering is consistent throughout.Its minimalist GUI is certainly a simpler beast to operate than even something like Logic Pro X. It’s undoubtedly an easy piece of software to use, though.Not exactly a wide range of options for the artist looking for a unique sound. Custom style options that you can configure, but the range of options is the choice of two sets of three buttons: warm, balanced, or open, and low, medium, or high intensity.The whole point of the software, after all, is to make the mastering process more straightforward by letting the computer do the hard work - but how much creative decision-making do you have to give up for LANDR’s ease of use? Rather a lot. LANDR asks the artist to relinquish most of its control and trust that the AI knows best. So far, so high-tech, but what can an artist do with the tool? It boasts that the software is always getting better thanks to behind-the-scenes learning algorithms. LANDR’s cloud-computing software is based on research done at the Queen Mary University of London into automated audio mastering algorithms.
