For years, musicians have been able to upload their tracks to SoundCloud and share them with the world. But unless you have access to studio-quality equipment, your track is probably not going to sound as good as the professionals. That’s why SoundCloud has announced a new partnership with LANDR, a cloud-based audio mastering software platform.
The new deal allows SoundCloud members to access a free “Optimized for SoundCloud” mastering format from LANDR, which “will master and enhance the quality of songs streaming on the platform.” Users will be able to upload a song directly to a LANDR library and share it straight to their SoundCloud account while simultaneously mastering it. Tracks already mastered in the LANDR library can also be exported straight to the streaming platform.
