Everything We Added to LANDR Studio This Year (So Far)
LANDR Studio is a constantly growing subscription that might be the best deal in the music software world.
Look around and you’ll see that there’s no one else offering all the important tools you need to write, produce, mix, master and release your music.
A LANDR Studio subscription will support you at every stage of the release process, and it’s getting better and better every year.
In the last year, the subscription added 15 plugins, an audio enhancement tool, sample packs from top-tier labels like Warner-Chappell Music Group, and a brand-new way to monetize music distribution with FairTrade AI.
But if you’re a LANDR Studio subscriber, you might have understandably missed a few of the sweet updates we made to the subscription.
Let’s take a look back and unpack absolutely everything we added to LANDR Studio over the past year.
1. LANDR Vocal Bundle
LANDR’s new vocal bundle adds a sweet collection of four vocal-focused plugins to its arsenal of vocal production tools.
Discover the LANDR Vocal Bundle.
The vocal plugin bundle covers four important aspects of vocal production with LANDR VoxDeEss for de-essing, VoxTune for autotune-style pitch correction, VoxVerb for vocal-focused reverb and VoxChain for vocal EQ and compression.
All of the plugins come with simple, easy-to-understand controls plus professionally dialed-in presets to give you the best possible starting point.
For all things vocal production, the new LANDR vocal bundle is the perfect complement to all of the other great vocal production plugins in LANDR Studio, like VocAlign and RePitch.
2. The Fair Trade AI Program
This past year, we introduced the Free Trade AI program to our music distribution service.
On top of LANDR’s industry-acclaimed music distribution service, LANDR Studio and LANDR Distribution subscribers can opt in their music for training on all the new assistive AI music tools we’re working on.
We believe that artists should be compensated whenever their music is used in AI training models, and that is what the FairTrade AI program is all about.
Of course, everyone is automatically opted out and no one is obligated to opt in their music.
But if adding more revenue streams for your music is important to you and you’re interested in letting assistive AI music production tools train on your music, the FairTrade AI program might be for you!
3. LANDR Sampler
No, this isn’t LANDR Samples, the massive sample marketplace that’s included with all LANDR Studio subscriptions. It’s the perfect complement to it, LANDR Sampler.
LANDR Sampler is an impressive sampler plugin that’s smarter than everything else on the market.
Everything you need to know about LANDR Sampler.
That’s because LANDR Sampler can scan all of the messy sample folders you have on your hard drive and use any available metadata to categorize everything by instrument, genre, key, BPM and more.
On top of that, LANDR Sampler automatically maps all the samples it finds based on your filters straight to your keyboard so you can easily play around and find exactly what you need.
Once you find something that works, LANDR Sampler has a ton of effects, ADSR controls, editing tools and more to dial in the exact sample you need for your track.
It’s an incredibly intuitive and time-saving sampler tool that blew our minds when we first had a chance to try it.
So if sampling is becoming a tedious, time-consuming part of your music-making workflow, give it a try!
4. Synth X
Earlier in the year, LANDR launched Synth X, its multifaceted modern wavetable synthesizer plugin.
Synth X is a workhorse that can produce a wide range of sounds, plus it features some impressive modern sound design capabilities.
Most notable is the way its wavetable synthesis engine works, offering some interesting ways to modify any sound inside of its wavetable oscillator.
Discover what Synth X can do.
It comes with a ton of preset wavetable samples, but you can also upload any sound you want into the wavetable engine.
Aside from the wavetable oscillator, Synth X features a fairly intuitive modulation matrix that makes it surprisingly simple to send modulation to various controls on the synth.
It also features standard ADSR, filter, and effects controls, alongside more common square, saw, triangle, and sine wave oscillators.
5. LANDR Stems
With the help of AI, stem separation has undergone significant improvement. With tools like LANDR Stems, it’s easy to split any track into impressively distinct instrument and vocal tracks.
With either the LANDR Stems plugins or its online companion, you can easily separate tracks into vocals, drums, bass and instrumentation like guitars, synths and other melodic instruments.
It’s a great tool for removing vocals, extracting an a cappella, isolating a drum loop or sampling a bass or guitar lick.
We even tested it against all the other stem splitters on the market and found that it was arguably one of the most effective and high-quality sounding stem splitting tools.
6. LANDR Composer
Spark creativity with Composer.
One of the most creative-focused plugins we released this year was the inspiring, intuitive, and fun-to-use chord progression generator in LANDR Composer.
With its selection of synth presets, LANDR Composer makes it easy to create new chords, chord progressions and rhythmic ideas without tons of music theory knowledge.
It’s a great tool that can spur new ideas and get any producer out of creative blocks.
7. LANDR ReHance
Audio enhancement is another area where AI is making dramatic improvements, and LANDR ReHance is at the forefront of AI-powered audio enhancement tools.
ReHance can clean up problematic sounds in most audio recordings by removing unwanted background noise, echoes, clipping, pops and plosives.
This is especially great for saving distorted vocal recordings if your recording session didn’t quite get it right at the source.
LANDR Studio subscribers have access to this tool inside of their track library, making it easy to clean up any audio they upload to LANDR
8. Audified plugin bundle
Our most recent addition to LANDR Studio was a collection of six top-tier plugins from Audified.
All told, we added a 1A Equalizer, a Pultec-style EQ, Telefunken-style saturation and compression U73b and U78 plugins, the mid/side RZ062 Equalizer, the Gallien-Kruger Amplification Pro bass amp plugin and Mixchecker Ultra.
It’s an impressive collection of pro-grade plugins that add great depth to the LANDR Studio plugins collection.
9. Sonuscore – The Orchestra Elements
Sonuscore’s The Orchestra Elements is a great plugin for easily adding dynamic and captivating orchestral parts to your tracks.
Whether you’re looking for rhythmic strings, epic brass, or a full orchestra to play with, The Orchestra Elements offers some impressive sample libraries with lots of customization options.
We tested it out when we wrote about our favorite cinematic chord progressions earlier this year.
10. Cubase LE
Alongside Ableton Live Lite, LANDR Studio added a new DAW to its subscription with Cubase LE.
Steinberg’s Cubase uses a unique workflow that’s friendly to the more creative aspects of music production. It features some interesting sound design and instrument plugins.
If you’re curious about how Cubase works, we covered it in our guide to Cubase.
11. Warner Chappell Music sample packs & more
We’re always adding new sample packs from top labels to an enormous royalty-free sample pack library.
But this year we landed some high-tier sample packs from the industry’s biggest labels, including Warner Chappell Music Group.
If you recognize that name, that’s because it’s a publishing subsidiary of the big-three record label, Warner Music Group (WMG).
The Hot Mic collection, delivered to us from Warner Chappell, is one the best collections of vocal samples we’ve ever heard.
Best of all, LANDR Studio subscribers have access to use these vocals and the rest of the royalty-free library for use in any of their tracks.
Hot tip: LANDR Samples also added some powerful new search features, making it easier than ever to find the exact sample you’re looking for. Browse LANDR Samples and find what you need now!
