CD Baby, a Downtown Music Holdings company, is home to over 1 million artists and 10 million tracks, and has paid out over $1 billion in artist royalties since its founding in 1998. CD Baby empowers emerging, niche, and amateur musicians with everything they need to successfully distribute, publish, promote, ...
LANDR, a revolutionary platform making DIY mastering easier than ever, has fully integrated with CD Baby’s dashboard to create a one-stop shop for indie musicians. Artists can master, preview, and save tracks or samples — all from inside their CD Baby accounts.
Vice President of Marketing for CD Baby, Kevin Breuner, said many artists releasing singles skip the mastering process to save money and time, noting, “Genres like electronic and hip hop music have really become single-first-type genres. YouTubers and cover song artists have found great value in LANDR as well.”
Breuner also pointed out, “LANDR is not competition to traditional mastering, but tapping into a totally different group of people. There is still a very firm place for traditional mastering, (but) for someone who wants to get a track live quickly, LANDR is a great choice.” Engineers are already enjoying free trials and saving masters for less money in less time!
It costs only $9.99 per track, and CD Baby members get free accounts and icons on their dashboards for convenient clicking. Engineers offering other mastering services might charge ten times that much and sometimes will only master entire albums, making LANDR’s integration into CD Baby’s vast dashboard of service a convenient service for DIY musicians.
