While the software may not replace cue sheets for vinyl, DDP files for CD production, it certainly is a huge step into the digital realm for engineers of all levels.

Artificial Intelligence is well and truly planting its root in the music industry. Beyond VSTs suggesting chords, chord progressions and plugins intelligently adjusting things like gain, thresholds and release times, Waves have now launched their own AI-mastering platform: Waves Online Mastering.

Read all the latest product & music industry news here.

Using Machine Learning and the expertise of industry-leading mastering engineers including Grammy Nominated Mastering Engineer Piper Payne, Waves Online Mastering produces custom-tailored master for each song across a variety of genres. Once generated, you can adjust the mastered file with Style, Tone & Reference controls. What’s more, you have the freedom to try a master for free, and only pay when you commit to a master. Masters are paid for via credits, renewed for 1 credit per song, and available in bulk for increasing value.

Waves offers the option to upload reference tracks, if there’s a song that’s similar in arrangement and tone and the AI-generated processing will take that feedback on board. Waves Online Mastering also takes streaming and playback standards on board, ensuring your mastering will be optimised for a variety of services.
