LANDR continues to transform music creation with LANDR Studio, a comprehensive yet affordable platform to create, connect, and release new music thanks to a broad collection of professional-grade audio software and services. 

LANDR wants to give music creators the power to create whenever, wherever and however they want. It’s unveiling the latest leap in that direction with LANDR Studio, the new name and face of its expanding subscription package. For one reasonable price, subscribers now get unlimited access to LANDR’s groundbreaking mastering technology, in addition to collaboration and distribution tools, samples and sounds, plugins, and an ever evolving range of additional features. Studio is a first-of-its-kind hub, including everything needed for creators to make, refine, share and monetize their music.

The most recent expansion of Studio rewards yearly subscribers with licenses for 13 additional third-party plugin instruments and effects from major industry partners such as IK Multimedia, UJAM, Arturia and Baby Audio, along with helpful educational content from Melodics and Groove 3. In the coming months, more plugins, software, and courses from partners like Ableton and Berklee College of Music will be added to the plan for all yearly subscribers (existing and new), totaling more than $2000 worth of simple yet powerful tools.

“Our goal is to meet creators of all kinds where they are, by providing the most feature-rich, high value subscription offering ever created,” explains Daniel Rowland, Head of Strategy and Partnerships at LANDR and award-winning producer. “Whether they are in a high-end professional space or working on their laptop from a closet, LANDR Studio can support their creativity, help them find community, and give them the tools and education they need to realize their musical ambitions.” 

For only $12.49/mo (annual rate), music and audio creators can access more than 10 tools and services from LANDR Studio. They can explore LANDR’s royalty-free catalog and find the right sound or sample, or play loops live with LANDR’s Chromatic virtual instrument. They can chat with collaborators via video or audio and share files. They can add pro-sounding polish to a demo or finished track with unlimited access to mastering. They can distribute to more than 150 streaming services and stores. They can even network with, collaborate with and hire vetted industry professionals, right from LANDR Studio.

To create LANDR Studio, the company partnered with some of the leading names in music production, in addition to developers of high-end plugins and effects. As Studio grows, LANDR will bring more partners into the mix, regularly adding value for subscribers. Next up: mobile collaboration thanks to a new app that will let creators work together on the go.

“Music is your story,” reflects Pascal Pilon, CEO of LANDR. “We want you to be able to express this story without limits or obstacles. An artist should be able to take their idea from inspiration to a mastered and released track in one place. That place is LANDR Studio.”

About LANDR
Founded in 2013, LANDR is a platform where music makers can create, master, and distribute their music. Powered by a passionate team of engineers, producers, and musicians, LANDR continues their groundbreaking work at the intersection of music and technology, combining the broadest set of tools and services in the industry under one platform to support both emerging and professional creators.

The one-stop music creation platform now lets established artists and brands partner with creators and fans to create, release, own and promote songs, transforming casual music listeners and fans into A&R powerhouses.

LANDR is redefining collective creation and promotion of new music with the launch of LANDR Challenges. Each challenge will feature established music artists, influencers and brands as “hosts” who provide curated content to be used in the creation of original music or remixes by Challenge contestants. Participation is free, and contestants are encouraged to share their creations with family, friends, and networks. The goal: Gain as many votes for their tracks as possible.

“We’re fostering a new sense of co-creation and community ownership, to support what many in the creator economy are trying to do on their own. The experience will give everyone that extra little nudge to inspire, if they are the host, or to push themselves to up their game, if they are submitting a track,” explains Daniel Rowland, award-winning producer and Head of Strategy and Partnership at LANDR. “The community aspect will open up new connections and new ways of making and sharing music together.” 

Finalists for Challenges will be determined exclusively through fan voting, with the host reserving the right to choose between 1 and 20 winners from that list. And unlike most music contests, the fans also have a stake in the outcome as up to 100 voters of the winning track(s) will receive 10% of ownership shares when the song(s) are released, with the rest going to the host and winning contestant(s).

“We see Challenges as a new addition to other fan engagement and promotion approaches,” Rowland notes. “Artists or brands can launch a Challenge to celebrate a new release or to get fans involved in a remix or other creative project or campaign. Fans can find a new way to get involved with the music they love by acting as A&R for the creative community. It puts a different spin on the artist-fan relationship that will encourage creativity and meaningful connections.”

The kick-off Challenge will be hosted by LXGEND, a producer, songwriter, artist, and online educator with a devoted fan community, soon followed by Austin Millz and Social House.

About LANDR
Founded in 2014, LANDR is a platform where music makers can create, master, and distribute their music. Powered by a passionate team of engineers, producers, and musicians, LANDR continues their groundbreaking work at the intersection of music and technology, combining the broadest set of tools and services in the industry under one platform to support both emerging and professional creators.

LANDR is bringing its flagship mastering product to more creator tools platforms, thanks to its new API. It will allow other apps and platforms to use all of the core features of LANDR’s groundbreaking AI-powered mastering technology, right where the user is. The API is launching with two partners, Offtop, an app that allows creators to write and record full vocal references on the go, and DAO, an artist services platform that combines production, marketing, and distribution.

“LANDR Mastering defined what AI can do for music and set the standard for new mastering technology,” explains Pascal Pilon, LANDR CEO. “This new API will allow us to integrate this tech directly into partners’ products. To put it simply, they will be able to add the API to the tools they offer their users.”

Via LANDR’s API, partners will be able to offer users the online mastering experience LANDR Mastering is renowned for, including three previewable loudness settings and mastering styles  that fit a wide range of music genres and audio approaches. They will gain access to LANDR’s powerful patented machine-learning engine, which a large dedicated team of developers and audio pros update regularly.

“LANDR is the industry leader for accessible, high quality masters. Through this API integration, we’re able to offer thousands of artists access to LANDR’s AI mastering technology on their mobile phone to ensure every idea they capture sounds great,” said Sam Hamad, co-founder of OffTop.

Users will gain control of their audio quality, putting an end to inconsistent, mediocre-sounding audio for their video, DJ set, or music projects. It will give them this power without requiring them to leave the partner’s platform–reducing friction and helping creators finish their projects.

“Audio quality is an underappreciated element of what makes a track or a video go viral,” notes Daniel Rowland, LANDR’s Head of Strategy and Partnerships and GRAMMY-nominated, Oscar-winning audio engineer and producer. “We’re helping partners raise the bar on their audio quality, which in turn will help retain users and subscribers and improve the overall quality of what creators can produce and share.”

This API is part of LANDR’s overall vision of providing pro-grade tools to creators at all stages of their journey, meeting artists, producers, and audio creators where they are. “LANDR’s platform is designed to clear away all roadblocks to creation, from the first notes or beats to the final polish of mastering,” says Pilon. “We want to bring some of this artist-friendly simplicity to our industry partners, to help more creators realize their visions.”

LANDR (landr.com) is releasing a new suite of tools, LANDR FX, designed to bring studio expert-level mixing finesse to all. FX offers more efficiency to studio expert-level workflows and new levels of polish to serious creators working on a home setup. LANDR FX adapts well across a wide range of genres and uses an intuitive interface which allows music makers of all experience levels to get to a great sounding mix fast. 

The LANDR FX Suite weaves together five plugins that each feature a single dial, distilling everything crucial to bring a mix to life into one simple decision. Each plugin, powered by Audified, boasts up to 50 presets, which were developed meticulously by LANDR’s seasoned and award-winning engineers.

“LANDR FX are some of the simplest and most capable multi-effects plugins ever created. Simply choose the plugin best suited to the instrument you’re processing, select a preset, and turn the big knob,” says Daniel Rowland, producer/engineer of Oscar-winning, GRAMMY-nominated projects, and Head of Production at LANDR. “Top audio engineers and producers have put their time-tested ‘secret sauce’ into these presets with dozens of FX settings being adjusted in the background. The result is a reliably professional sound in just seconds.” 

LANDR users can purchase FX plugins a la carte or as a bundle, or take advantage of these plugins as part of an All Access Pass subscription, which unlocks the entire LANDR platform. LANDR FX plugins cover everything most producers, artists, and other creatives will need to make a mix shine or to get a great sound on the fly. They include: 

Acoustic: Bring out vibrant tones and rich character in your acoustic and orchestral instrument tracks and samples.

Electric: Add richness, gloss and classic effects to your electric guitar and synth tracks across multiple styles and genres.

Bass: Rattle the windows, perfect your low-end or enhance the groove with definitive and iconic bass effects.

LANDR, the creator platform bridging everything from DAW to DSP, is unlocking even more value for artists and producers without raising subscription prices, adding its first plug-in to LANDR All Access Pass (www.landr.com/pricing). Synchro Arts’ VocAlign Project 5 creates just the right level of alignment between multiple tracks. It’s the first of many plug-ins LANDR will release to All Access Pass subscribers.

“We’re offering more and more options for creators at every point in their workflow,” explains LANDR CEO Pascal Pilon. “VocAlign Project 5 tackles a problem that music makers of all styles and at all levels have to solve. It’s the kind of product we know makes a difference in production and that truly enhances the value of the all-in-one platform we’re building.”

LANDR All Access Pass subscribers can tap into a growing number of tools and instruments to supercharge their DAWs and crank up their creativity, including plug-ins, the just-launched Chromatic, and samples. These creative tools join LANDR collaboration, mastering, and distribution services at the same monthly price ($9.99/mo; full details below). 

VocAlign Project 5 (www.synchroarts.com/products/vocalign-project-5/overview) will be the first of many plug-ins LANDR plans to welcome to its All Access Pass, including plug-ins built in house, as well as in partnership with leading makers. The VocAlign Project 5 plug-in makes vocal production, one of the biggest challenges for many producers, easier. It takes separate vocal performances like doubles or harmonies and effortlessly aligns their timing to a lead in seconds, potentially saving hours of valuable time.

“For years VocAlign has been a secret weapon for top producers and engineers,” notes Daniel Rowland, Oscar-winning and GRAMMY-nominated producer and engineer and Head of Production at LANDR. “In just a few clicks you can get tight, professional sounding vocals that would otherwise take hours of editing.”

LANDR plans to keep expanding the offerings included in All Access Pass. “Our vision is to turn All Access Pass into a single, easy-to-use hub for production, where everyone can get their projects finished, polished, and out into the world,” says Pilon. “Our carefully curated plug-in collection will grow substantially in 2022, making an All Access Pass subscription a no-brainer for artists and producers who need their tools to deliver.”
