Well, there's mastering and then there's mastering nowadays. It should only be leveling it, ideally, don't you think? So if we've done our work, I don't think the mastering engineer/service should be changing the tone of the record anymore. In the old days, there was a lot of adjusting for the limitations of the analog gear. Digital files are mostly lossless (at least to the average ear), so the mix is dictating the tonal profile. I would also assume that mastering engineers are mostly concerned with levels for handheld devices and streaming services. The change to cassette, then CD, I assume would've been a huge trip for the mastering engineers. I'm sure some of you remember when mastering was mostly concerned with cutting lacquers for vinyl.
It makes sense that we'd all find ourselves scratching our heads, especially the more experienced folks. Since then, I've done a fair amount of reading and YouTube-ing about mastering and it seems to me that the process has changed significantly since the CD/DVD largely disappeared. I've used LANDR and I also picked up Ozone 8 Elements when they were giving it away a few months ago. whether that's good or bad I have no idea. I hope nobody get's the idea that this is a thread against LANDR, at this point I don't know what LANDR can do, all I know is that the mastered mix I submitted came back almost exactly the way it was submitted. There were places where he did talk about LANDR and that was good to know. Anyway, what the guy in the article is saying is all very good to know, and much of it is pretty basic knowledge. Once I got that out of the way it looked like an advertisement for Sonarworks Reference 4, which is why I posted the above. Okay, I'm sorry MRMJP, Google had an advertisement that didn't look like an advertisement and was in the way. I do have a good room for working with audio. At first I wasn't sure because it sounded very similar to my 27 band EQs, but it has a slightly better sound in the high end. But they're getting old so I thought I'd give sonarworks a try and I liked it. I had been using my to outboard 27 band EQs since the 80s, and they are very good. I am using Sonarworks Reference 4 in my studio and have been for several months now. How about all you Reaper friends, have any of you used LANDR for mastering, and if so, So my question is, did LANDR do anything to try improve my mix? Also checkout the SPAN spectrum analyser.Īs you can see in SPAN, the waveforms are nearly exact, my mix is red, LANDR's is green.Īlso the mastered mixes sound exactly the same. Listen closely as I click back and forth. You'll see in this video I have it setup with grouped mutes so I can cross reference, so So I loaded it into my Toby project to test against my mix, I was totally surprised. First of all I was quite surprised, because they gave me back aĢ4bit/44.1 wave file, just as I had submitted. To make a long story short, I was very curious so I went ahead and had Was already mastered, however, if you want to get it mastered by someone else, goĪhead, I'd be interested in seeing the results.īut then I got to thinking, there's a lot of talk about LANDR, so I thought what the When we got all done Toby asked me if the song needs mastering and I said no, it
Recently I produced a song written by a songwriter named Toby.
