Waves Audio has introduced the AI-powered Waves Online Mastering, an online service that produces ‘accurate, release-ready, custom-tailored masters for any uploaded track, guaranteeing exceptional sound quality’ and ensuring that tracks sound professionally mastered on any delivery platform.
This is achieved through the integration of Waves Neural Networks technology in an advanced AI mastering engine, along with input from top-tier mastering engineers.
‘I got involved with this project intending to create a tool that would be as good as, or even better than, my own skills,’ says mastering engineer Piper Payne (Dolly Parton, Janis Ian, Madame Gandhi, Corook, LeAnn Rimes) has been part of the Waves Online Mastering development team. ‘We have modelled the processes and techniques I use daily, using advanced machine learning technology, and meticulously compared the sound to that of my own mastering chain, until we achieved the required level of excellence. We’re very proud to share this service; it provides such dependable masters, that often even I can’t distinguish between them and my own mastering. It is intuitive and beneficial for any DIY producer/songwriter, professional mixing engineer, or music licenser.’
Results can be personalised using the Style and Tone customisation options, and reference tracks can be uploaded as a guide to desired sonic characteristics.
‘Mastering is essential to ensure audio achieves its peak quality across all platforms, especially where music is consumed through a multitude of formats and devices,’ Waves says. ‘For producers and musicians ready to release their music, mastering is indispensable to achieve a professional result. Waves Online Mastering makes high-end professional affordable and immediately accessible to all.’
