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 engineerThe experiences Paul gained working at LANDRWhether AI will ever replace the human factor in audio productionPaul’s mastering process and what he is looking for in a masterThe importance of being versatile and doing mixing, mastering, recording, and sound restorationStudio acoustic treatmentTo learn more about Paul Edwards, visit his website: https://pauledwards.caLooking for 1-on-1 feedback and training to help you create pro-quality mixes?Check out my coaching program Amplitude and apply to join: https://masteryourmix.com/amplitude/  Want additional help with your music productions? For tips on how to improve your mixes, visit https://masteryourmix.com/ Download your FREE copy of the Ultimate Mixing Blueprint: https://masteryourmix.com/blueprint/ Get your copy of my Amazon #1 bestselling books: The Recording Mindset: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Pro Recordings From Your Home Studio: https://therecordingmindset.com The Mixing Mindset: The Step-By-Step Formula For Creating Professional Rock Mixes From Your Home Studio: https://masteryourmix.com/mixingmindsetbook/ Check out our Sponsors:Download Waves Plugins here: https://waves.alzt.net/EK3G2K Subscribe to the show: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/master-your-mix-podcast/id1240842781 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5V4xtrWSnpA5e9L67QcJej  Have questions you’d like answered on the show? Send them to questions@masteryourmix.comPlease leave a rating and review:https://masteryourmix.com/review/ Thanks for listening!
