Mastering a song with LANDR Mastering Pro
Landr
Demo summary
The creator demonstrates the LANDR Mastering Pro plugin by analyzing a track, toggling gain match, selecting the 'Open' style, and manually adjusting EQ, presence, and compression settings to achieve a target LUFS level.
Step-by-step
- Play the loudest part of your song to allow the plugin to analyze the audio
- Click the Gain Match button to equalize volume between the mix and the master
- Select a mastering style using the slider (Warm, Balanced, or Open)
- Adjust the Equalizer to boost low-end or high-end clarity
- Adjust the Presence setting to enhance upper mids
- Modify the Compression level to your preference
- Toggle the bypass button to compare the processed master against the original mix
- Turn off Gain Match to check the final LUFS level
Options
- Choose between Warm, Balanced, or Open mastering styles
- Adjust Wideness, De-esser, Character, and Saturation settings
Watch out for
- Streaming platforms normalize audio to -14 LUFS, so they will turn the track down if it is too loud
Tips
- Always use Gain Match first because the default master is much louder, making it difficult to judge quality objectively
- Listen through all three mastering styles to see which fits the specific track best
- Aim for a loudness level (e.g., -9.4 LUFS) that is safely in the ballpark without going overboard
