IBut the suits are willing to pay anything for a machine to do this. I've
seen it claimed it now exists and is in use. I'd only be convinced by
using one in anger - and that's not going to happen now. Certainly there's
no evidence of it being in use.
Have a look t things like landr.com. Now, as far as I can tell, not a
single mastering engineer's job is threatened by this. It's a damn good
drafting tool though, and for my simple tracks with not too many
instruments in them it has done a really good job. For my complex ones
it has done a decent approximation and I'm definitely going to both
listen to it and also look at it (look at the waveform). It's unlikely
to be the final say however.
