This week, ASCAP announced an unexpected partnership with one of the most controversial platforms in the modern music industry, LANDR. Along with the announcement comes backlash from many audio professionals who derive at least a portion of their income from mastering services.
While many are seeing this partnership as a money grab by ASCAP through some type of profit-sharing deal, it might just be the start of a new wave of thinking in an industry desperate for a new business model. This could very well be the beginning of artificial intelligence and machine learning affecting the music industry’s approach to production.
