LANDR Instant Online Audio Mastering

 

LANDR is a service that offers instant online audio mastering, and lets you integrate mastering seamlessly into your SONAR workflow. LANDR’s adaptive engine analyses and reacts to music, and makes subtle frame-by-frame adjustments selectively using tools like multi-band compression, EQ, stereo enhancement, limiting and aural excitation based on the unique properties of the song. You can preview and download the master in a matter of minutes.

SONAR has integrated support for uploading audio to the LANDR service. An active internet connection and free LANDR account are required in order to use this feature. If you do not already have a LANDR account, you can quickly create a new account from the LANDR desktop app.

LANDR offers free accounts and a selection of pay accounts depending on your file format and bandwidth requirements. Depending on your LANDR account plan, you can download your mastered audio as a low-resolution 192kbps MP3, high-resolution 320kbps MP3, and uncompressed 16-bit or 24-bit WAV file.
