LANDR Audio Acquires Synchro Arts

Montreal, Canada (June 11, 2021)—Digital audio service company LANDR has acquired UK software developer Synchro Arts, which produces the VocAlign and Revoice Pro plug-ins.

While best-known for its AI-based mastering software, LANDR also offers a music distribution service, a samples marketplace, a plug-in store and a marketplace for hiring producers, engineers and promoters, as well as a video chat software that streams high quality audio from the DAW. Synchro Arts’s plug-ins will be added to LANDR’s product catalog, but will remain available at typical plug-in retailers. The products will eventually be available through LANDR’s plug-ins store as well, but no specificdate is currently available.

The Synchro Arts team, based in the UK, will be integrated into the global LANDR team, but will continue to be responsible for the development and evolution of the existing product lines, which LANDR has no plans to make changes to.

Founded in 1994, Synchro Arts produces its VocAlign plug-in, used worldwide, and its Academy Award-winning Revoice Pro software can likewise be found in professional music, TV and film studios globally.

Is AI Taking Over? Not So Fast, Dude.

“This deal is a natural fit,” said Pascal Pilon, CEO and co-founder of LANDR. “Vocal processing is a key piece of the music creation process, and with Synchro Arts, we have added world-class technology to our platform and world-class individuals to our team.”

“To be joining forces with the talented LANDR team opens up fantastic opportunities for us,” added Jeff Bloom, CEO and founder of Synchro Arts. “We are all very excited by their vision and interest in incorporating much more of the audio processing technology we’ve been developing over 26 years into new, jointly developed applications.”

While the VocAlign and Revoice products will continue to be developed and maintained on their own, LANDR also has other plans for the underlying technology. “We’re working on something really exciting that will bring the magic of what Synchro Arts has accomplished to a whole new audience,” said Pilon.
