 What's up everybody once again is Brandon Shawn and today is Friday, which means I got to go over music resource or tool strategy that might be helpful for you guys. Today, I want to talk about something that is a tool that a lot of you guys could use you make the decision, but we're talking about automatic mastering platforms. Two platforms I want to talk about are Lander and Aria. I'm going to list a lot of other platforms in the top comment below in the description. You know, all that good stuff, but what is Lander and what is Aria? These platforms are essentially, like I said, automatic mastering platforms. Now what's useful about these platforms? Well, I've seen a lot of artists have trouble when it comes to having quality sound in their music and I get it. Mastering is a real skill. Mixing is a real skill and when you don't know how to do it yourself, it's expensive. These platforms because they're automated and you're not paying a person specifically are actually a lot more cost effective. I'm not saying that you should do this for every single song, but I'm saying these are options. This is why I'm doing the video that you guys should check out for yourselves and see if you like the sound. Lander and Aria are two of the most popular. One Aria is supposed to be analog, which is a little bit more of that old school way of doing things. I'm not going to get into those nuances. I'm not an engineer, producer, so I don't get too hyped up about those details or consider myself an expert, but a lot of the old school people I'll tell you, they love analog. Now, I've seen a lot of people say, yeah, Aria is expensive. It is the most expensive out of these automated mastering platforms that I know of, but when you consider the fact that you can get 10 songs for a lot less than it costs to get one song mastered by a real person, it's still not that expensive. Now what are those prices, $49 per month. Maybe you want to get 10 songs per month, 25 songs per month for $99 and 100 songs per month for $249. Maybe you just want to do one month and get 10 songs done and then you can cancel your subscription. You guys know how subscriptions work. That's a real thing that you can do. So basically $50 for 10 songs. That's pretty cost effective to me, but as I said, there's other platforms and there's platforms that let you do one-offs. Overall, I wanted to just make sure you guys knew about this option because no, right now these technologies are not allowing you to do it on the level and with the quality of just a single person who's great at it. But especially considering how not great a lot of these engineers are out there anyway, you can probably get at least the quality that a lot of them have. And then of course, once again, it's all going to be about the nuances that you like. Maybe you end up using one of these platforms for most of your songs just to get it to a decent quality. You know, it might be mixtape, soundcloud type music, but then when you have a big serious project, then you decide to go to an actual mix engineer, especially if you want a cohesive project. You probably still need to go to an actual person. Once again, I'm going to put reviews of a few of these platforms in the description and the top comment below. Check them out. See what you think.
