LANDR, eMastered and Ozone: Compare the Mastering Workflow
Illustration: WBBT Records.
An online mastering service and a desktop mastering suite offer different levels of control and responsibility. The best choice depends on your listening skills, revision needs and session workflow.
Put it into practice
Test the same mix, level-match exports and check the available formats. Compare ongoing costs with the features you actually use rather than assuming a universal winner.
Check the finished deliverable
Keep the original session and compare the final export with your approved reference. Listen from start to finish, including transitions and the tail. Check that the file you upload is the intended version, not an earlier bounce with a similar name. If the release needs a specialist format, get the delivery specification before the final export.
Your next step
Test the same mix, level-match exports and check the available formats. Keep a short record of the decision and revisit it after your next completed project.
Prepare an audio release for the relevant WBBT Records workflow.
