What LANDR Mastering Plugin is
LANDR Mastering Plugin places LANDR’s AI mastering engine inside a digital audio workstation to create mastered track versions. Real-time processing lets music makers hear changes while refining a mix and revising versions in the project. Controls include AI analysis, loudness settings and meters, input trim, visualizer, bypass, gain match, mastering styles, EQ, presence, de-esser, stereo width, and dynamics. LANDR says it integrates with any major DAW. macOS X 10.14 or later supports Apple Silicon Native or Intel through VST3, AU, or AAX; Windows 10 64-bit or later supports VST3 and AAX. The three-day trial includes all features, but trial bounces retain a watermark. Internet is needed for license confirmation, not analysis or operation. Access costs $15.99 a month through Studio Pro or $299, paid once for a perpetual license, with unlimited in-DAW masters on both plans.
