Man just when I thought, “You couldn’t possibly have anymore good advice or instructions to pass on that you haven’t given already,....WRONG!” Bolo, thank you man. Said it once and I’ll say it again, your honesty and forthcoming truthfulness are unmatched,...and we definitely appreciate it and you bruh!

*Fun Fact: Left AND Right, L(AND)R*

Oh Yeah Bolo I definitely want to give you props on your most of your content because you get straight to the point without the attempts or delays .

Great video...I sincerely enjoyed the comparison of the before and after tracks! Thanks for sharing!

Appreciate that info bro ✊🏾. 2 years later and still helpful 💪🏾

Bought the yearly plan about a year ago and forgot all about until I saw your thumbnail 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣. I got so caught up on trying to learn how to master my own Beats I didn’t take advantageous the service. Moving forward, I will now. Time stands still for no one. If you can you can, but if you can’t just outsource it.

Thanks for sharing. I've used samples from landr off and on the past year. Now I can put the master feature to use with your example. Blessings to you.

This video was very helpful. Super clear, super easy to follow. Thank you! Keep it up!

This was perfect. Thank you.

Someone in the comments asked "Do you typically master your beats before the vocals are recorded?" Well... in today's world, the answer is Yes and No. But typically?... NO. You would never master a song before putting the vocals are on it, UNLESS... the beat was meant to be an instrumental that you plan to sell online, put on Soundcloud or whatever. Now in Bolo's case, as well as a lot of beatmakers, if he's trying to sell his "beat" to a potential rapper/singer client, then he wants that beat knocking and sounding as dope as possible! Hence mastering. Feel me? But keep in mind, and to be VERY honest... Landr is pretty much equivalent to Izotope's mastering software, except THEY do it for you. Basically, whether you send to Landr or use Izotope, based on the algorithms of your beat, it is then automatically assigned to specific genre sounding presets by this amazing technical mastering software that actually does it for you. Of course with Izotope there's more flexibility if you want. You see folks, Mastering is NOT the art it use to be. Back in the day (and I'm sure an OG like Bolo knows this lol) you use to have a lot of cats who made a damn good living just mastering! Guys like Toney Dorsey, Herb "Pump" Powers, etc (which I've hired many times back in da day). They would master your whole album in this fly-ass technically designed Mastering studio where ALL THEY DID was master music!! Not today bruh. Today you don't have to know sh*t about mastering. Simply just send to Landr... OR buy Izotope and do it yourself. with Izotope you can even pick a mastering preset template that's designed from these great mastering engineers (just like Waves do with signature plugins)... press a button, just like Bolo did...and "presto!" your sh*t is mastered. Yes... I've been in the game a loooong time lol. And trust me... you know some of my work. Anyways, I salute you, Bolo.... you a real one bruh. Love your channel.

I’m a singer, producer and engineer!!! I have been doing it for years!! My uncle is in the industry! He told me about these engineering programs!!! I have to say I’m impressed and I’m shocked!! On how good they are!! If you know anything about mixing and mastering it’s time consuming, tedious, and it can give you a head ache which is what your paying for the engineers pain killers lol 😂 because of the head ache that comes behind the mixing lol 😂 naw but I will say I am working on a huge project with multiple artists I met off an app! This is definitely a time cruncher!! The only thing I will say is mixing and mastering programs don’t make good music you do!! And do the best mixing as possible before uploading it in these programs!! 💪🏾✈️✈️🤙🏾

Appreciate your videos Bolo this 🙏🏽💯

still watching u from TRINIDAD& TOBAGO thanks for that LANDR site I bookmarked,& subscribe thanks for that & as usual, another gr8 tutorial bless you!

Good looking out. Imma check it out.

Thanks Bolo for that information that is very helpful for me.

Black Knight at ya service frfrr.. much respect, your time is heavily appreciated.

Thanks Bolo cause mix and mast can be time consuming and difficult this may help me a lot 💪🏾💪🏾

Dude. Great user friendly video. Ty sir

Thank you for the info 🙏🏾🔥

I REALLY NEEDED THIS INFO .. Thank You .!!!

You sir, are 👍😎. Thanks!

Thanks! Super helpful!

Ty great video

As a mastering engineer- whoever asked if you master a beat without vocals 1st - 95% of the time no way. But...rules are meant to be broken so... lol🤙

Great tutorial!

the best i feel bolo bolo

Bruh I’m in there like swimwear now fam thanks for this

Pretty cool service def gonna check that out. I wonder if you could send a partially mastered track to them and still get decent improvement. I’m thinking I might like to dial in a touch of EQ/compression myself, then send to them to add the final touches and get the levels where they need to be.

Nice video you’re trying to get me back to BM3 been really just Studio One 5 lately lol

Thanks Bolo. I've been trying to see which one gives you a bang for the buck. E-Mastered or Landr. I think I'm gonna stick with Landr. I've used them a couple of times and there offering more products. 👍

Bolo thanks for the gems

Holy hell!!!!!!!

Hey Bolo excellent video. Very informative and easy to follow and you seem genuinely interested in helping others obtain the success you have obviously had. Can you provide the specifics on where I can obtain a copy of Beatmaker 3 is it by INTUA! thanks will give this video a like and keep up the great work.

LANDR is good service . However most times the finish version of the mastered stereo file is mainly "Gained Staged". The signal exceeds +2 or +4 which presents issues for personal devices like Apple iPhones , or Car audio speakers which are coded for flat responses. I've found that records can be respected and appreciated more if the quality and transients are on board .

I’ve used them before. It’s a good service! Personally I like Izotope Ozone 9 Elements better. They have a pretty cool mix assistant.

Nice video 📹

💯💯

Glad to hear something good about it i cant afford to pay someone

Bolo do you still mix your beats the same way you do before sending them to landr? or will you use less plug-ins before sending for mastering? i've noticed you only use a few plugins on beatmaker 3 and im curious if you would still leave those on before sending to landr?

Can you please make a quick video SPECIFICALLY importing a Beatmaker 3 beat/stems into FL 20? I'm having the hardest time! Thanks.

Nice comparison. I had a music video client a few years back who mastered all his tracks using LANDR. Most sounded decent enough, but every now and then there’d be one that would be a bit distorted. I don’t know what settings he was using though.

Bolo, you're the best. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I was very surprised at the quality you can get with e master when you bounce down at the 75 - 80 % ( on master bus ) meters.

Bolo i can't seem to keep my iPad pro charged to at least 90% while producing on it. I have a nano keyboard that needs usb power. I'm using a USB hub that isn't plugged to an outlet and the lightning camera adapter. Then the iPad from the adapter to the wall. But it's like it's not charging, it loses charge quickly. Can you recommend the proper usb be hub? Thanks man. Great Landr video. ✌💯

Can I ask what the difference is between 'warm' 'balanced' and 'open'? Is it possible to audition the different versions before you buy? And how long does this process take please? Many thanks. 🙏😎

🙌👍

so I shouldn't have a side chain for my kick and 808 right? dumb question im sure

Off topic but how long you been playing keys, Bolo?

How do we leave headtoom?

Der > Dar

Do you still EQ before sending it to Landr to master?

I like slate digital mastering tools .

Are bluetooth Beats by Dre headphones good enough to use for music production?

Dose it work on desktop?

What is uour spotify name?

Problem for me is not having the mastered stems to send out to engineers :/

Pardon me for my ignorance but what does normalize mean?

No such thing as negative zero lol good video tho G !

New ipad?

Is there a way for you to know what has actually been done in the mastering process, like what processing was added and how much?

master sounds really distorted with too much volume.- I stay with my fabfilter mbc as my main tool for mastering in the ipad in real time

Is this beat available?

what monitors are those in the backgrond with the blue led over the sub

Bottom end sounds distorted , your version sounded better in my earphones 🎧

Do you ever worry about ... outside sources slipping in ISRC codes in mastering metadata??? I have trust issues lol

Well, I found the comparison between your mixdown and the master version very misleading. There should be a function where the mixdown and the master are leveled equally cause we all are guilty of thinking that louder always sounds better.

D A R

Go Bucs....

Mr bolo o was wondering if you can kindly lead me in the direction of where I can get my music copy right.

Where is it hitting for levels after you mastered it?

wow. .made it way louder

Is it free or subscription based? Dope video bro

You could just add a limiter on your own. It would sound the same

Have you tried Aria Mastering? @Doctaj54

Do you still use lander to master your music?

I can hear Too Short on that beat

Does LANDR distribute the music like DistroKid does?

Yorock'nthe proper attire Yeah Bucs.

Ok, thats cool and all.... BUT - what is te point of making comparission of pre/post Master without Level matching them? Aparat from that the tool Itself is aaight, definetly helpfull in situations when you Just want to get lets say a bunch of beats you made to sound more.. lets'say impressive prior to sending them out for rappers or as a demo. If the Ozone's features have a similar or as good automatic Master buss processing tool (as some folks tend to claim) and fully tweakable at the same time than this is no brainer for me - at least in a long run.

Do you typically master your beats before the vocals are recorded? I’m just thinking the headroom issue could be a problem once the completed song is mastered.

I understand how to learn to mix for LANDR but it's not good because if you intend to have a big BASS it will just overdo it and saturation will on every transient but then you can decide are you have alternative and human ears or to learn LANDR or just buy AAMS and you'll be amazed but even AAMS is no good like human ears but listeners won't notice so don't copy don't replicate Music that you like just make something new because as every form of Art is constantly looking for something new NEW

Negative zero?

Comparison without level match? That's wack... All you hear is a louder mix but you don't hear what they did to it. Louder isn't better, especially when streaming. Streaming services are gonna limit and squash the shit out of it and there goes your mix out the window. No level match comparison = no good

This should be balled as a advertisement tho

Would you trust their mastering.

Love the video dislike the hat lol

Bro, you said negative zero ;-) Okay I understand, rules are there to be broken, even in mathematics... There's no negative or positive zero... Zero is neutral ;-)

I’m not really excited about this. I feel like AI will ruin the craft of mastering. I also feel like if we use services like this what else will they come up with? They will eventually kill the mastering engineer, then the mixing, then the producer.

Aria is much better.... in my humble opinion

now days we can just turn it down. to master. don't put a limiter on master chain.

If your goal is to get it to -0db then why not just do it yourself? Why pay money and leave head room that you can cover yourself? Maybe i'm missing something.

6 people disagree with getting help from this app.🤣

The death of art. Call me old skool but we had DBX quantum with 100s of options back in the day when we mastered, or sent it to be mastered by someone who actually listened to the track. Same thing that happened to filmmaking they have LUTS that you buy and drop on your video. I promise you if you had normalized and add any random compression it would probably sound the same as that LANDR stuff. If you are comparing the nuance of mastered vs unmastered both must be at least at same level.

You ever heard about unity gain when comparing? And did you ever heard of kick and bass occupying the same freq spec? Lol 😂 that's not Mastering that's just a brickwall on a poor mix 💩.... Sorry to be that frank

gross, grotesque, dreadful . . . soon we let robots, algorithms and AI do the music too...

Where can I get that beat I would destroy that
