LANDR

LANDR is an AI music production platform combining automated mastering, sample libraries, plugins and distribution for independent musicians.

Overview

LANDR is best known for AI mastering: upload a mix and its engine analyzes and applies mastering chain moves tuned to genre and loudness targets, delivering release-ready audio in minutes. The platform has expanded into a sample marketplace with AI-powered search, curated plugin bundles, collaboration tools and music distribution to streaming services. For independent artists, it covers much of the production-to-release pipeline in one subscription. Human mastering engineers remain available as an upgrade path.

How It Works

Upload your final mix and let the AI mastering engine analyze genre, dynamics and loudness targets. A/B preview the mastered version against your original, adjust intensity if desired and download release-ready files or distribute directly to streaming platforms.
