These days, when it comes to mastering your music, there are so many options to choose from. There are free online mastering services like Landr which can master your audio almost instantaneously, or there is the traditional route of hiring a professional mastering engineer who might have a longer turnaround time but can offer a personalized touch. Both have their pros and cons. My guest on this episode of the MasterYourMix Podcast is Paul Edwards – a mastering engineer who has been very active on both sides of the debate. Not only is Paul a successful mastering engineer himself who has worked with artists such as Smashing Pumpkins, Flaming Lips, Simple Plan, and more, but he was also the Lead Audio Engineer for Landr as they were being developed.

In this episode, we discuss:

Landr mastering vs hiring a pro mastering engineer
The experiences Paul gained working at LANDR
Whether AI will ever replace the human factor in audio production
Paul’s mastering process and what he is looking for in a master
The importance of being versatile and doing mixing, mastering, recording, and sound restoration
Studio acoustic treatment
