So I Uploaded my mix to cloud bounce and got it mastered. I was curious to know what the deal was with this online mastering service. I have a very basic set up (budget monitors and decent acoustic treatment).
I have been learning about mastering process for a while now. I recently made a track, I mixed it and mastered it myself, It sounded good to me. That would be less than 50 eur a song, a pretty nice value considering you have an experienced engineer, with a state of the art monitoring chain, Plugins, AD/DA Converters and so on.
#Landr vs cloudbounce full#
It's not as expensive as people think (you can get a full cd mastered for 400 to 500 eur or less!!!). Also, i question, when mixing and mastering and any other part of your art, do you really just want to sound as others? Do you think other people's sound should be limiting your own?Īnyway if you're looking for something specific (and mind that Mastering is not Vudoo, it has a bunch of specific tasks that take you from A to B) you'd be better off taking your songs to a master engineer. But what Landr most affects is dynamics, some eq, and colour, but it simply stands to a standard (though they say it compares your song to a bunch of others of the same type), and even on the softer settings it was a little harsh to my years.
I didn't look at Landr a lot but i compared some masters done with Landr and mastering engineers and if you're looking at something standard, it can make an Ok'ish job (Landr, i never tried the new one).
