Become a mix master

As technology changes at an ever-so-rapid pace, many of the techniques used to make records have changed or become extinct seemingly overnight. Enter Landr, a new web-based company that aims to take the mastering world by storm by offering musicians the chance to upload songs and get 'em mastered at a fraction of the cost that most audio labs charge. If you're looking to make your record sound professional rather than like a demo, this is the hot ticket. Sign up for a free account and get two free finished and mastered MP3 files in return. Want more? Landr also offers three monthly options priced at $6, $14 and $39 respectively. www.landr.com.
