loopop | DIY AI Mastering // Soothe 2 vs Gullfoss vs Intensity by Zynaptiq, along with Magnetismus 2 @loopop | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
Which of these are better are making your music better? A non-mastering engineer's shootout comparing a few simple AI-based tools for mastering (along with an analog compressor for good measure...)
