On the LANDR wikipedia page they link to a Forbes article "Making Money On The Music Mix: Meet MixGenius
 
I have a fantastic money making idea.
 
I go to http://juke-bot.com/, enter the parameters for a song I want, pipe the result off to LANDR, and - done!
 
I'm gonna write a bot that keeps up this cycle perpetually and plays me back the results.
 
Based on the principle of having enough monkeys on typewriters at some point producing the complete works of Shakespeare, I figure I should have a string of hits by year end.
 
Do I need SONR?

...that was supposed to be a joke.
But - I wonder.
H'mmm....

I'm curious...has LANDR really become "the leading online mastering service"? And in such a short time?
 
"Leading" suggests there are competitors, but I don't know of any. At least, not any with that business model.

There are a ton of online mastering services. I've often gotten clients from people who've tried them . But no, not with the same business model. The main distinction to me isn't the AI stuff, but the free preview so you know what to expect.

I hate to get into this again as I've written MANY comment regarding LANDR and I am a huge fan and proponent of the service as I think there are MANY uses for it that can help us as well as bery very good budget mastering..  I am an early adopter with LANDR meaning I joined up when it first came out, [provided comments and feedback to help them improve and now pay a very small subscription price for as long as they continue to deduct from my account lol.  LANDR has 3 mastering intensities:  LOW, Med and Hi.   Personally I think LANDR is GREAT for the average home studio who has not goten a budget for mastering.  Also, I can do it myslef but it whole other level of anxiety and second guessing.    Landr LOW and Medium provide PLENTY of dynamic range.  Only the HI crushes your MOIX.  YOU MUST NOT PEAK HIGHER THAN -5!   LANDR says this for a reason!   Yu WILL get very good results if you start with a great mix and send in with the specified headroom.  Now I just learned about SONARs arrangement but don't yet know if you get your choice of intensities.   If you do, I suggest trying them all.

I figure other mastering tool providers must be aware the casual user just flips through their presets.
So if this cloud-only solution gains in popularity, iZotope, IK Multimedia et al are going to have to review their product line and tack on some sort of AI software analysis.
 
TC-Helicon have for the longest time had their "Personal Sound Engineer" concept which supposedly analyzes your singing and optimizes your mic signal automatically.

LANDR is a computer intelligence robot mastering program and does a decent job of getting songs in the ballpark of the mastering realm but it is not designed to replace a mastering engineer.  I master my own projects as I have thirty years of studio experience and I know exactly what I want my projects to sound like however if I had little to no experience then LANDR would be a great help in getting a decent end result.  If you know how to master then don't be concerned but if you are new to the recording game or lack the confidence then LANDR is a good service to get your projects sounding decent. Remember many factors have to be in place such as good input levels and a nice balanced mix before you can master so don't expect LANDR to make a track sound professional if you don't have your production in order.

I'm glad there are REASONABLE people here because there some VERY ignorant LANDR haters out in the ether!   Blackiejames has it exactly right!   Its anoither tool and has many potential uses depending on your skills and budget but it definitely should NOT be immediately written off!

But to be fair, a lot of them haven't tried it and/or don't seem to have read the eZine, or know that there are different options available for the masters, so their opinions may change when they actually find out what it can and cannot do. LANDR says upfront it's not intended to replace a good, traditional mastering engineer. But that leaves a lot of room for a variety of applications, some of which as I said before, will make my life as a mastering engineer much easier when dealing with clients who don't get what mastering is about.
