Mastering by humans..

Just did a mastering job for a US producer, and I referred two of the mixes back to him for consistency and artifact issues.

He was blown away by the fact that I a) heard it and b) took the time to let him know.
You ain't gonna get that from an automated mastering service.. Just sayin :O)

    Just to add to the fun, I found out the EasyDrummer folks also have an auto-assist mastering product.

    No idea if it's any good, but there's lots of add-on packs to choose from.

    A mastering engineer I used recently asked from another BIG client to get the whole PT project because he wanted to change mix balance to get the best result. Automated services haven't done this so far.

    there will always be a need for a human to master.
    that being said, I think Landr is a great product for those on the fly who either
    a- cant afford a master
    b- just want a quick master to listen to.
     
    there is always a difference between professional and quick.
    that will be true till the end of time in any subject.

    Humans do have soul.

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    LANDR's garbage, it's a bit embarrassing that Cakewalk tangentially works with them.
