Much like the LANDR’s online mastering platform, the plugin analyses any track and adapts its engine to its sonic characteristics, in turn delivering a personalised master.

To use the plugin, you simply need to load it into your master track and play the loudest section of the song. The plugin then detects the genre and pull together a mastering chain based on what it’s hearing. It then gives you three different mastering styles to choose from: warm, balanced and open.

Users can then further tweak the sound with the other mastering controls such as EQ and compression. There is also the option to dial in additional vocal presence, tweak the loudness or increase the width and spatialisation of the mix.

Other areas that can be changed is the level of the de-esser, and the saturation of the mix.

A free “test drive” of LANDR’s AI auto-mastering plug in is available, while users can either purchase the plug-in for $299 or access it as part of LANDR’s Studio Pro monthly subscription for $15.99.
