9. LANDR
For equipping music makers with what they need

Landr, a platform for producers and artists to create, master, and distribute their music, doubled down on its suite of tools. Chromatic is a digital library of sounds and beats created by well-known artists, session players, and producers–including Grammy nominee D Smoke and singer-songwriter Ariane Moffatt—that artists on Landr can remix into their own creations. Landr rolled out Upmastering, a service where stereo audio is remastered into Dolby’s high-fidelity spatial audio format Atmos. The company also unveiled Landr Sessions, a way for musicians to collaborate virtually while maintaining good audio quality. That kind of innovation in creator tools has propelled Landr to have more than 500,000 producers, composers, musicians and labels on the platform.
