    How is Masterchannel different from other AI mastering services?

    What sets Masterchannel apart? 💡

    Several other mastering services apply presets or filters to your music which often leads to a hit or miss situation as a preset or filter may not suit your music…

    This is why we created Masterchannel with a more sophisticated approach, so it focuses on your song and only fixes what is necessary to be fixed in order to make your song sound great.

    With Masterchannel, simply drag & drop your song, and our system will understand what needs to be done to make it shine. If the track has already been mastered, the system may barely touch it. If you upload a mix that needs a lot of polish, our system will roll up its sleeves and do more of the heavy lifting.

    Let Masterchannel handle the final polish, so your music can sound as good as it deserves! 🎶

  • AI for music production: 5 tools that’ll make your songs sound even better in 2026!

    AI for music production: 5 tools that’ll make your songs sound even better in 2026!

    As most artists have recognized, new AI services for music production are popping up every week. But what tools should you use that actually give you the extra edge you need as a producer? We’ve created a list of 5 tools that surely will give you some extra firepower to create some great sounding songs. So let’s dive into it.

    Masterchannel

    Masterchannel is a leading AI-powered mastering tool designed to make any artists feel comfortable that their song sound as professional as possible.

    AudioShake

    AudioShake is an AI-driven composition tool that empowers musicians and composers to splits song recordings into instrument stems (vocals, drums, guitar, bass, wind, piano, and other) and instrumentals, to be used for a wide-range of uses cases, from sync licensing and mixing, through to interactive audio and content analysis.

    VoiceSwap

    With VoiceSwap, users can seamlessly alter vocal performances, adjust pitch and timing, and change the timbre and style of a singer’s voice—all with the click of a button. Whether you’re remixing a track, creating vocal harmonies, or experimenting with vocal effects, VoiceSwap offers flexibility and control, allowing you to transform ordinary vocals into great performances.

  • You don’t need a perfect mix to master your song with AI!

    You don’t need a perfect mix to master your song with AI!

    A common misconception about using Masterchannel to master your song is that it must be fully polished, and be a near perfect mix, before the song is mastered.

    This belief stems from the traditional notion that mastering requires a human engineer to sound professional, which has been the default for most artists. Consequently, the cost of mastering a single track has been high, with multiple iterations often pushing expenses into the hundreds of dollars per song.

    However, with the introduction of AI mastering services like Masterchannel, this is changing. Artists now have access to unlimited mastering sessions at no cost, without sacrificing quality, when using Masterchannel.

    As a result, the initial mix does not need to be perfected before mastering with Masterchannel. Instead, artists can iterate on the mastering process throughout the production of a song, to make sure that the final quality is as good as it can be.

    A typical scenario involves you uploading a song to Masterchannel, receiving back a mastered version from our AI, and comparing it to the original. If you want to adjust anything, such as enhancing the bass, you can make modifications in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and re-upload the revised version.

    Flowchart outlining steps for music production in DAW and Masterchannel, including adjusting mix, exporting song, mastering, listening to results, and finalizing the master.

    After re-mastering, you can then evaluate the result and decide whether further iterations are needed. In this way, Masterchannel functions as your personalized AI co-engineer, empowering you to achieve your desired sound and ensuring confidence in your own productions.

    Furthermore, we were able to improve low end control, and achieve smoother tonal control overall, leading to even better sounding masters than before.
