Hey everyone, here is what I have in mind about how things will develop from the beginning of December 2024. - Platinum and the Gold Membership will merge into one Audio Artist Rise Program. - Everybody who is currently a Platinum member will keep lifetime access as promised! I will always be here for you! - Everybody who is an existing Gold member (and who is signing up until 1st Dec 2024 for the Gold Membership) will get the opportunity to change your membership to lifetime status. Basically we will deduct the monthly fees from the final price of $3000. - The price FOR NEW MEMBERS will increase from $149 to $199 /month. There will also be an annual membership price plan available ($1990 /year) - The live call slots on Tuesday will be opened up for Gold members to four instead of two calls. - The livecall archive would open up for everyone. - No more lifetime membership option. - I am considering a 7 Day free trial at some point. - At a later stage, and depending on how quickly the Audio Artist Rise Program is growing, the price will finally increase to $249 /month or $2490 /year. Then, all six live calls slots will be available to everyone. Got questions, feedback, suggestions? I am listening 🤗 If you lock in NOW and before the end of December 2024, the current price of $149 /month and the lifetime option will stay and will NOT change. In fact, no price you got into the program will ever change. It is only and always only for new members. Interested in finally turning your passion into a thriving career?

Great video on AI mastering from Benn Jordan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZRV2H4PK0Q The results of his blind test were that human mastering by experts got the most votes as sounding best - BUT....the top AI mastering tool is called Matchering - an open source AI mastering tool that appears to be what subscription tools are plugging into: The GitHub page for Matchering is here: https://github.com/sergree/matchering (for those who are a bit more techy) You can download a desktop version of it at: https://ultimatevocalremover.com/ Yes it's a vocal remover tool but the mastering option is under the menu CHOOSE PROCESS METHOD>AUDIO TOOLS and you can select Matchering. Then you add your track and a reference tracks and it'll do it's magic. It got better results in the blind test than Ozone's auto-mastering (although he only tested the automated version, without human tweaking, which he rated a lot higher). So basically it's not the best possible, but it's a free version of some of the subscription based AI mastering tools - so not for everyone but certainly a useful thing to try out, especially if you're on a tight budget!

Hey there! I got an advice to use realistic panning plugins like Vienna MIR to make the sound more real. Is anyone of you using it, is it worth the money? Are those kind of plugins really necessary for a realistic sound? And does anyone use an alternative, beacuse 750 Bucks for a panning plugin are atm too much to spend for me.

Has anyone used this service to release any music? It seems kind of user-friendly, I was wondering if you might share your experience.
