    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.

    But our own B2C platform is not the core focus for Masterchannel as a company. The core focus is to make the world-leading Masterchannel technology available at platforms artists already use. Because as an artist, do you prefer having most of what you need in one place or to jump around from service to service..?

    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.

  • Introducing Wez Clarke AI: The world’s first AI engineering clone

    Introducing Wez Clarke AI: The world’s first AI engineering clone

    Together with the Grammy Award-winning engineer Wez Clarke, we are happy to unveil the world’s first AI clone of an engineer!

    In a pioneering collaboration, Clarke has licensed his unique talent to AI mastering company Masterchannel, for the launch of Wez Clarke AI. The launch represents a significant advancement in the integration of musical artistry with AI, and showcases the future potential of how AI can be developed in partnership with the music industry.

    In the same way that voice clones capture the vocal characteristics of singers, Wez Clarke AI encapsulates the expertise of two-time Grammy nominee Clarke. It builds on Masterchannel’s existing AI mastering service that functions autonomously like a professional music engineer.

    The new tool provides everyone from bedroom musicians to professional artists with the opportunity to experience the meticulous decision-making of Clarke during the engineering and mastering process, to create a track that resonates across all platforms. As the volume of song-creation is expected to multiply in the future, this ground-breaking approach represents an opportunity for everyone to experience professional audio quality of Grammy Award-winning standards.

    Clarke has mixed 13 UK Number 1 singles, with hits for artists including Beyoncé, Rudimental, Tinie Tempah, Naughty Boy and Little Mix. He mixed Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne’s ‘Rather Be’, which won a Grammy in 2015.

  • Introducing the Music Analysis Tool by Masterchannel

    Introducing the Music Analysis Tool by Masterchannel

    For artists, listening is the natural way to determine if their songs have the quality they desire. But what should you do if you’re still unsure?

    This is where our Music Analysis Tool, created by us at Masterchannel, comes into play. Our Music Analysis Tool provides accurate feedback on LUFS levels, Peak Level, and EQ Balance, ensuring that you reach your intended goals. But why are these indicators important?

    • LUFS Levels indicate how “loud” your song is and are crucial when uploading to platforms like Spotify. If your song is too “loud,” Spotify and other services may reduce its volume, potentially affecting its quality.
    • Peak level reveals how loud your song is at specific moments. If it isn’t balanced with the rest of the song, it can lead to clipping, which is something you want to avoid.
    • EQ balance assesses how well-balanced your track is, serving as an indicator of how it will sound on various streaming platforms and audio systems.

    The Music Analysis Tool by Masterchannel offers a transparent means of understanding how your song was engineered before mastering and the adjustments made by Masterchannel. The ultimate goal is to make it sound as exceptional as possible while ensuring it meets the criteria set by streaming platforms. This way, you can always have peace of mind knowing that your song will sound great, regardless of the platform or listening device.
