LANDR
Upload a rough mix, get a professionally mastered track back in minutes.
What is LANDR?
LANDR is an AI mastering service: upload a finished mix and its algorithms analyse and process it to sound polished and loudness-matched for streaming, without hiring a human mastering engineer. It has since grown into a broader platform that also handles music distribution and some AI-assisted mixing tools.
LANDR was one of the earliest companies to make a real business out of AI audio processing, well before "AI" became the label everyone reached for. Its mastering algorithms compare a track against reference material and apply EQ, compression, and loudness adjustments automatically — a process that used to require a specialist engineer and real studio time. Over the years it has bundled in distribution to streaming platforms and some collaboration tools, positioning itself less as a single feature and more as an all-in-one toolkit for independent musicians.
