    What music platforms have integrated AI mastering from Masterchannel?

    We at Masterchannel launched our own AI mastering service in 2022 as a stand alone platform, where artists & musicians could professionalize their own music, with one click of a button. Since then, 25,000 artists have signed up and started using Masterchannel at https://masterchannel.ai.

    In 2023, we opened up our API for the public, and soon after we launched our award-winning white labeled AI mastering solution. So far, 12 established platforms have launched their own services, and with more to come.
