Hi there!
I need an opinion from someone more experiencedthan me.
I have recorded and mixed this song with Cakewalk and used LANDR (AI Automatic Mastering tool) to master it.
For who doesn't know LANDR, you upload your song and AI does the mastering instantly for you, you can upload a reference track also it will apply the same mastering sound.
I have two different types of masters here, the first is the Landr standard one, the second I used a reference track from Mogwai album to make it sound similar.
What's the best in your opinion?
For me the first one is wider but maybe too much, in the sense that the instruments are more panned left and right, you can really hear the difference with headphones when you switch to the second song everything is a bit more centered.
I have heard a lot of times that 100% panning LCR is the most used and suggested by mixing engineers, to make it sound wide,
at the same time I'm not sure, it seems to me that the second one sounds much better, the first one is more clear and you can better define each instruments because they sound more separate of course, everything is more panned, but still the second one is more powerful and the instruments mashed together, doesn't sound like is all separate.
Any other suggestions are welcomes especially about dynamics. Thanks!
