Thanks but no thanks. I'm done with these tracks. Time to let them go. They are as good as they are going to get, and can't change them. It's time to move on to writing new songs & recordings.
Yes I have many tools and have tried using them. I get mixed results. My volumes are all over the place. My EQ isn't quite right, Compression helps. I've gotten scolded for using the Normalizer. Same with Aural Exciter. Soooo I tried LANDR and came up with a happy end product. My music seems to...
Yes I'm being hard headed about it...this is why...here are my options...
I have 5 songs to work on. Going to a mastering service would cost me about $50-$100 per song, that adds up to $250-$500 bucks just for mastering...ain't gonna happen.
Buy the Ozone program, $250 bucks for the standard...
You remind of a guy I used to work with. He had a P.A. system and thought he knew it all about music. He used to run sound for bands and sometimes played drums. Then he ran sound for me a few times. He kept telling me how much I sucked. Never had an encouraging word. Well I landed a gig playing...
Sorry you dislike my music and mixes, but the mixes can't be changed without redoing the whole song. These are very old recordings and the master tracks are long gone. I maybe could apply some EQ and compression, but I'm not going to. They have already been released to Tunecore, iTunes, and...
Hey hey...four of my songs are already live on iTunes !!!! Holy mackerel that was fast, I was expecting a week or two delay !!!

Another thing to consider is what am I going to do with my tracks ?? At this time, upload them to Tunecore then iTunes. Keep in mind, iTunes has 26 million songs posted, the likelihood of me recouping my investment in songs is highly unlikely with that much competition. I may sell a few...
Well by no means do I consider myself a mastering engineer. I have a basic understanding of mastering effects, and when I use them I usually use the presets contained in the plug-ins. I'll go thru the various presets and pick the best sounding ones. The LANDR program seems to do the same, so...
That's basically what we did with this track. I put together the rhythm guitar, bass and drums, while a friend of mine put down the lead guitar. We live about 60 miles away from each other and put together the track thru e-mails....

There's lyrics to this song, it was...
I'm not promoting anything...just basically mentioning it. I don't make a nickel on this whether you buy into or not. I don't care if you ever use it. I was just mentioning it for your own benefit. I do trust the site because it's partnered with Cakewalk and is included in the Sonar package...
Look, you guys have already trashed LANDR enough, I get the message, you don't like it. If you want to hear a fair comparison, go to the LANDR website, upload YOUR track then compare it to your original. It only takes a few minutes and you can get an idea of what you're looking for. Even at a...
And the reason I won't do volume matching is because it defeats the purpose of showing the results of the mastered track. I'm more concerned with final results than comparing raw tracks with mastered tracks.
Well if you want to hear before and after examples, might I suggest you go to the LANDR website and master your own files. The first two songs are free. What have you got to lose ?? It doesn't take long to master a song... try it for yourself !!
No, I'm not going to bother. I'm not trying to "pimp" or "spam" anything. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up about it. There seems to be a very big backlash against any mastering software, not only on this forum, but others as well. On other forums the gripe seems to be that the mastered...
How does LANDR work?
LANDR learns more with each new track it masters. And since launching in 2014, we’ve mastered over 2 million tracks for our worldwide community of passionate musicians.
Every time you upload a track, LANDR creates a custom ‘digital fingerprint’ of your track, cross...
Well the LANDR program uses limiting, stereo enhancement, aural exciter, multi-band compression, and EQ. The program looks at your song and decides what to do with it based on what it found. I tried running 6 songs thru the program and 5 came out really nice. The 6th song had a really bad...
