If I just ran songs through my processing chain without speakers and/or headphones, just looked at the meters and numbers, and did NOTHING else, that would not be mastering and I would have very few (if any) satisfied clients. A human mastering engineer does FAR more each and every day than just stereo bus processing. I’m more concerned about the big picture and how these services give people a false sense of getting all the things that the mastering process entails, not just the stereo bus processing. How do you even have a chance to be better than AI if companies are falsely changing the definition of mastering to current and future generations? I have plenty of new and recurring clients each month, and it’s been increasing for years so I don’t see things like this as a direct threat. The “be better than the AI and you have nothing to worry about” comments are really short sighted. Among others, LANDR, ARIA, eMastered, and now Plugin Alliance/Brainworx are now comfortable dumbing down and redefining what the mastering process is.

One component of that process is stereo bus processing. Mastering isn’t processing, mastering is a process. I wasn’t expecting the actual definition of mastering to be so subjective, but now it is thanks to these AI services attempting to dumb down what the process entails. I’ve purposely not even commented on the actual sound of these AI services because it’s subjective. What I think is disingenuous to users of so-called “automated mastering services” is that by calling it that, it gives users, particularly less informed users, a false sense of receiving the same treatment that a human mastering engineer would do. If these services called themselves “automated stereo bus processing” services, I’d have no problem with that. Mastering is more than just stereo bus processing. I’m a firm believer that a project isn’t fully mastered until it’s 100% ready for distribution and production. Instead, this article focuses on facts regarding a few things that what people call “automated mastering” simply cannot do for you, and why that is important or perhaps detrimental to your project. Sign into and upload a track or head to the tools page to access LANDR and hear your tracks professionally mastered.If you’re expecting an article that critiques and dismisses the intrinsic sound qualities of what people are now calling “automated mastering” or “AI mastering,” this is not that type of article.

LANDR is already a uniquely intelligent and surprisingly high quality system but it is constantly learning and evolving using it’s adaptive engine to listen and react to music using micro-genre detection to make frame-by-frame adjustments using tools such as multi-band compression, EQ, stereo enhancement, limiting and aural excitation. LANDR has been (and is still being) refined over 8 years of university research with the team at LANDR featuring award-winning mixing engineers, top-level DSP programmers, musicians, producers, label owners and even a resident astrophysicist!
