I had to pick up dog food for a sick friend so I searched on Petco to find the nearest location. From then on I got served ads for leashes, dog sweaters, obedience classes, etc. etc. I hated AdSense when it was on Harmony Central. We stopped using it when we were acquired by Gibson.


But I have never ordered a penis enlarger for anyone,  yet all the time I get........no wait........ forget it:)

You guys know you don't have to accept cookies don't you ?
And you can flush the ones you do allow each time you exit your browser ?
And you can use Adblock Plus ?
 
I just about never see any ads, on websites or youtube.  I couldn't stand all the visual noise.
If I want to buy something on amazon, for example, I'll allow only amazon.ca for the duration of my purchase then kill it when I'm done.

Anyone know the difference between an uncompressed wav and a HD wav?

uncompressed wav = 16 bit
HD wav = 24 bit

I knew it would be simple. Thanks.

My 2 cents...
  1. Landr - when I realised it wasn't a plugin but a paid subscription service, I felt a little betrayed. Sonar has become awesome since the intro of the new business model but this diminishes that IMHO. 
  2. I understand Noel's partner argument like Melodyne or Addictive. This is not the same thing at all.   
  3. Having listened to a number of Landr pre-post masters, I really don't like it - everything seems to sound the same!
  4. I haven't seen EBUR128 / ITU BS.1770-3 mentioned yet. How does Landr conform to the CALMS act in the USA or the new European broadcast standards. That's a biggie!
  5. Doesn't do vinyl (I think)
  6. It might be useful for music students or independents on a shoestring budget.
  7. I teach mastering and critical listening skills. Mastering is an excellent process for understanding what makes a great mix - kind of reverse engineering approach. Landr hides this valuable point.  
  8. It shouldn't be integrated. 
  9. If anything, perhaps the Cakewalk team are realising the considerable sense of ownership and loyalty their clients have toward this! 
  10. If you want to offer mastering, consider this:
    1. developing the mastering preset chains and a mastering plugin suite 
    2. offering a mastering flow like Audition does with spectrum analyser and, ITU/EBUR128 LUFS -23 metering (a la TC Electronic /Waves WLM PLus) 
    3. Include a facility for creating Red Book CD output i.e. DDP file, PQ code, CD-Text info 
  11. I'd rather put the money into Sonar for point 10 rather than running a separate mastering DAW.
There, my ...um 5 dollars worth...

Just been reading about Arsene Wenger comments on a football site about Arsenal's last game. 6 adverts for LANDR on the one page. They must really be pushing the advertising budget. I hope they've paid Cakewalk well.
 
EDIT: Just saw the comments above about others facing the barrage.

Dan Gonzalez might want to argue with me on this, but I think presets for mastering are useless, other than exposing what plug-ins people might want to use in the mastering process. For me, 90% of mastering is about EQ. No preset can analyze the track as well as a good set of ears, and then make the necessary tweaks needed to restore spectral balance. I often use 8 stages of EQ when mastering and sometimes more. No preset can possibly adjust those 8 stages to what an individual piece of music needs.

My stuff uploads in minutes, even our 12 minute epic at 48/24..  Its based on YOUR connection mostly, not theirs.   Internet providers throttle bandwidth at different times of days and also badsed on neighboring traffic.  I have comcast and its most great all the time.  For me 5 - 6PM is slow, everything else is uploaded in under 2 minutes.  Whole process for a song:  Upload, preview, adjust intensity, download to my machine is under 10 min for entire cycle.  consistently

AAgain.. Landr doesn't alter the sound of you mix, it only enchances or brings out what is already there. Great mix, very good sounding master.   Lousy mix, loiusy master.  I don;t get why people don;t get this.   Personally and what I've heard from most people, those who master themselves (and those with not so great mixes) , especially with presets... those are the really poor sounding  masters
