![]() ![]() The other thing I noticed was that there were little segments that would almost jump out of my mixes which didn’t seem to hit home in the same way with the LANDR versions. Now if there’s one thing we can be sure of, mastering should not make you enjoy the music less. I thought perhaps this was just the effect of listening to the songs afresh but after listening again and again I still preferred my original mixes. Minus the LANDR treatment, the music, to my ears, seemingly had more room to breathe, or, in less woolly terms, there was less loss of dynamic range. However, after taking a break of around a week or so (important because listening fatigue destroys any sense of objectivity) I went back to my original un-mastered mixes and was surprised at just how much I preferred listening to them over the LANDR ones. I could have just left it at that and scored a bargain price on my mastering and moved on. The people I sent the LANDR tracks to as a test seemed happy enough in that they enjoyed listening to them. I could potentially have gone with the LANDR masters without any negative feedback. Well, in the end, I decided to take my tracks to a tried and trusted professional. So, if you read the last blog on this subject you’ll know that I went on a bit of a journey with LANDR and finally arrived at a place where I was kind of OK with the final results but wasn’t really entirely sure whether these would be my final album masters. If you’ve already read the initial blog then, you know, just keep reading □ If you’ve done that then thanks for sticking at it because really I should have edited it down. If you’re going to read this then it’s probably best that you read the initial blog here.
