@francqz31 Thank you for the request. I will work on providing some examples to compare different mastering services so you can judge for yourself.

@Wieland3 Wow Thank you so much for your effort , I really appreciate it
you are right your repo is way better in my opinion . yours and Landr are also almost like each other ,
but yours is open source , so you win :)

@francqz31 I put together a short youtube video comparing reference-master, Matchering and Landr on one track. All masters were done with the same reference, "Break the Fall" by Papa Roach.

Let me know what you think.

My take aways are the following:
In my opinion the mastering with reference-master is better at preserving the transients from the drums than Matchering, probably due to the use of a clipper. (of course I am biased though)

However I noticed that not all songs get mastered well with my project. I think this is due to the nature of the optimization strategy and how well the song and the reference align in the first place. I think it is crucial with all of these methods to listen carefully after the mastering and decide if it is good.
