I think Logic Pro's Mastering Assistant gave the most natural sounding result, Grand Finale had a greater frequency range boost, giving it more low end and high end but changed the sound more and BandLab's masters sounded rather dull in comparison but only because of the brightness of Grand Finale - I think on its own without the comparison it would be very usable. But my favourite is Logic Pro.

To my ear, Logic Pro was the most pleasing 🎧 I find myself using the Punchy preset on Logic the most 🤘

I think they all do a fine job. But nothing compares to Lurssens Mastering Console.

Just listening through the phone speakers, Grand Finale sounded a bit muddy, and Bandlab was had more high end. Mastering assistant opened up the mix a bit more. Overall, MA and Bandlab sounded better than GF, in my opinion.

One thing you didn't mention is that Bandlab will master your track at 16 bits resolution (unless it changed recently and I'm not aware of it). That being said, Logic's Master assistant is a great free option but the best of the 3 is Klevgrand with all the settings that you can tweak but, at the end of the day, I have to agree with Jade Starr and say that Lurssens is far superior to any of these. It cost more but it's well worth it.

Great video.

Would’ve loved to have seen AudioMaster compared.

On the second track, the Klevgrand version sounded much more muffled, like the high end was significantly shelved, losing some of the excitement and energy of the track. Also, I wish you'd played a sample of the original unmastered mix before demonstrating the mastering processes. That way, we could get a better sense of what's actually happening. Anyway, thanks!

I wonder what Apple will give us for our 50 quid sub next year? More than one update perhaps?

Have you checked Trinity (Seven Systems) and AudioMaster Pro (Future Moments). Dont own but I would like to see someone do video comparisons. Also AudioScope (4pockets) and Chow MultiTool are great tools to have.
