What is Mastering, and Why Its Important?
Mastering is the final step of audio post-production (it comes directly after mixing). Think of mastering as adding sparkle and shine to your music. During mastering, your mix is balanced, compressed, equalized, the stereo image is corrected or enhanced, and the overall level is raised. The purpose of mastering is to balance sonic elements of a stereo mix and optimize playback across all systems and media formats and ensures that your song sounds similarly pleasing on your phone or tablet speakers as it does on massive dance club sound systems (some people call it “Photoshop for audio”). In a nutshell, mastering is where your songs get the final polishing, fine-tuning and enhancing so your finished product will be both more musical and more competitive on the radio and in the marketplace.
