Gotcha! But send me your paypal emails via the site's email function or on discord

Distro is not automatic, it's an additonal button you can push.

Regarding the difference, you just have to try it yourself and see. They have a trial account which lets you give it a go. I know Aday was using Ozone and is onboard for LANDR. I was previously using Final Touch for iPad.

For me it's an idological difference:

(1) save time and money. i don't want to spend any more time than necessary on the mastering step. in the past i would get super tweaky with final touch and would rather spend my tweak time in gadget on instruments and my mix. we have enough people now that landr is stupid cheap.

(2) i don't want to master my own material. i'm not going to pay someone or find someone to do mastering on a weekly basis.

(3) i'm curious about how the bots will perform and contributing to the neural network that LANDR is using. the theme of CODAME ART+TECH festival i'm running is #ARTOBOTS this year and using landr for mastering fits in with that. my take is that every labor revolution has put people out of jobs and shifted value to new tasks. i don't see any reason for the intelegence revolution to be any different.

i expected plenty of haters when i tossed the idea out there. responses range from "mastering is so simple that i wouldn't pay anyone or a bot to do it, just throw a limiter on there and turn up your volume" to "mastering is such a complex art that there's no way a bot could do it." i'm somewhere in the middle, i think that mastering is a simple enough task that it's feasible to train a bot to do a good job. the limiter conversation has actually been covered fairly in depth on the mastering show.

i find the conversation fascinating considering all the context above. i'm not trying to sell LANDR on anyone but do want to share what i consider an interesting opportunity with the ppl here!

Have 20 people in right now, works out to ~11 a head.

ohai cfurrow, make that ~17

Avarine, yeah exactly!

PM me your email address and I'll get everyone on a thread for splitting up the cost (and profits if we are that lucky?!)

A few people have asked so:

Licensing stays with the original artist

Publishing/Distribution is not mandatory, but there whenever you feel like it. For each release you can fill in different artist information, record label, art, etc.

If we wind up striking gold with a chart topping hit (or everyone makes a WB LANDR spotify playlist running overnight) we will split the profits evenly. I ran mp3death, hexawe labels before and am running CODAME ART+TECH now where we split profits from our shows up between artists... so hopefully I'm trustworthy enough not to turn our MASSIVE GAINS into happy meals

just found this thread, very happy to see others are on the weeklyvidz tip! i have done audio every week but have missed a few videos, will be going back and filling all holes tho. 4 now i leave my latest here!
