    Every time I find a amazing mix I look in the credits and I see Colin. Kimbra and Big Sean raised by wolves...insane vocals. I hope Mix with the masters does a series on Colin.

    i understand there are output limitations with the Aria service (using Robots to control analog hardware) but the only reason I’m not going to purchase is because they don’t have an ‘Unlimited’ monthly option. eMastering is king for that very reason.
    Please make this an option down the road, Colin! My two cents. Thanks for the interview guys.

    • @colinleonard6527
      @colinleonard6527 Před 5 lety +1

      Aria is not designed to be the cheapest automated mastering solution, it is designed to be the best. If you want cheap unlimited masters Aria is probably not for you. If you spend a little more on Aria you’ll hear a big difference in quality.
      If cheapest makes somebody the ‘king’ I guess that’s not for me. In my world what sounds best is king.

    • @erice1763
      @erice1763 Před 5 lety

      Colin Leonard - my apologies if I wasn’t clear (and am very unfamiliar with online mastering) - but I meant ‘Unlimited’ as being able to go back, tweak the mix and ‘re-master’ it through Aria, or any other online service. That’s all. Personally not great at mixing so it’s more about the learning aspect vs getting something cheap. Regardless, appreciate the interview.. thanks for all the info and insight

    • @colinleonard6527

      Aria has a remaster module in which you can remaster your mix unlimited times and make adjustments on the analog gear at no charge. There is also a preview mode where Aria will master a section of your mix for free as a learning tool. It seems you have never used it. Also it seems like these are paid comments.

      Colin Leonard - Awesome. I’ve tried to test out the free demo but it won’t upload. Tried multiple browsers and wav files. I’ll try again.
      Not a paid comment just trying to find the best tools for what i’m doing. Regardless thanks for the response

Let us know your account at studio@ariamastering.com and we will help you with your technical difficulties.

    About Aria, I tought that people could use those gear remotely... It's fully automated you do nothing.
    One minute algorythm work... for 20$. It should be worth the investment. But I'm curious about it...

    • @HAWDWERK
      @HAWDWERK Před 5 lety +1

      Check out access analog dot com, i don’t work for them but I met them at naam you can use analog mixing gear remotely through their plugin and the cloud, I think they’re still in beta so you can try it for free.

      I reached out to him last year and he emailed back very quick quoting between $250 and $300 a song but less if it's for a whole project.

    • @indigodeep6609
      @indigodeep6609 Před 5 lety +1

      That may have been a discounted rate because I was sent by an engineer he closely works with so don't quote me on that
