Using 5 Different AI Mastering Services On The Same Song

Mastering is a vital part to the quality of a song. It takes a very tuned ear and years of experience to do professionally at the highest level. So what if you can skip all the hard work and have AI do it for you? There are many sites that will do just that... but how do you decide which is the best for your project?

Today we'll be testing out five different AI Mastering services to see which on will be the best for your music. I'll be testing out masters from LANDR, BandLab, CloudBounce, eMastered and the Ozone 9 Mastering Plugin.

Hey man, this was an awesome video, and a really original idea. I haven’t seen anyone make a video anything like this before, and this is really in-depth.

The only thing I would like to mention is this:
At 16:14, you make a point that the Ozone 9 master is not as ‘beefy’ as the Landr master and is the skinniest of the masters. Not sure if you know this, but Ozone is capable of a lot more than what you left the settings as. Keep the True Peak setting on, and raise the Ceiling to around -0.01. Then lower the Threshold just a little past when the limiter starts working. This will push the track right before clipping, ensuring your track has as much perceived loudness as possible. Also, keep the IRC mode to IRC IV (you can go down to IRC III if it starts to eat up your CPU). This just affects how precisely Ozone 9 listens to your track (I think). Finally, keep the Character on the fast side, around 0.40 . You don’t really have to touch any of the other knobs, they don’t do too much.

I really hope you take this advice, it will highly improve the quality of your masters if you continue to use Ozone 9 in the future.

BandLab's mastering is surprisingly good for being a freebie

Thats dope that you payed for mastering just to show us all the dynamics of them, i think shows how loyal you are to bring authenticity and realness to this, you got my subscribe and like. And further Support

You really went to work in this video. So much effort. Honestly the thought and effort(the chopping up of the different mastered audios and going from short snippets of each one and back again especially) of this relatively short vid is the equivalent of a big budget Hollywood movie. Thanx immensely

I remember back in like 2016 I was trying to make music and I used Emastered, it was like £5.99 a month!

You're mix down was that fire it got you changed.

Really helpful! Thank you! One question: Other than sound, are these AI masters professional enough for placement in a TV show? Are they lacking in any way that a pro (human) engineer would give me? I've been working with a pro and there are definite challenges. Sometimes he's spot on, but other times he makes creative decisions I don't agree with and changes need to be made. Other times, I make creative decisions myself down the line (like I want to add a part), which means a new master, so things start getting pricey. But my biggest question is whether AI masters are pro enough for any opportunity that might come up for our music. Thanks! Awesome video!

[StratsRUs]

Superb video.Well done ! I actually enjoy using emastered because I can just use it as much as I want, to help me improve my mixes by just feeding it with the tracks constantly.

this video is exactly what i've been looking for on this subject! thanks man!

[jaymeal]

I can tell how much work went into this video! Very very nicely done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[thumbnailgreen]

Nice work and thank you for the effort

[RichieR_]

Loved seeing you review all tools from different providers, i needed this to make up my mind before going for LANDR, I also feel like LANDR is quite impressionable and one click away from my future albums as I will be completing the mastering alone after several years of searching for a human engineer and being disappointed I’m excited to do take a step forward with LANDR, thank you so much for all your efforts you are so musical 😍😍❤️

Yo channel hard, the expensive one sounds the best too me Slime

[joeysalins]

Enjoyed this one! Here before it blows up!

[Lesifvar]

Actually the prices aren’t that bad. Engineers charge $100usd minimum for mastering

This was an inspiring video.
I've written an albums worth of material and I set out to produce and mix it myself with a view to employing the services of one of many 'amateur' mastering engineers that i've befriended over the years, to finish it off ready for release.
However, I wasn't happy with the results that I was getting back, purely because they weren't on the same wavelength as myself and this was all paid work, albeit inexpensive because i don't have much of a budget. So, I set about spending hours and hours watching YouTube videos so that I could learn to do it myself. The problem is, it's taking up far too much of my time and it's generally taking me forever, mainly because every time I learn something new, I find myself going back to the beginning and starting all over again.
after watching this video, I'm gonna give LANDR a go (via your link), and see where that takes me. I'll report back with the results.
Thanks for the video tips, much appreciated.

Landr had a nice level for the high ends on the hit hats. Not too sharp that hurts your ears

I might be the only one who found CloudBounce to be the best.
