MASTERING
MASTERING
What is it? And who needs it?
Mastering is the process of placing the songs of your project in
the correct order. Matching the relative volume and tone of each song. Adjusting
the space between each song. Increasing clarity and definition of the
instruments in your songs. Removing sibilance and plosives. Adjusting intro's
and endings. And usually includes raising the average volume of the entire
project.
You need mastering if you intend to have your project played on
the radio, or if you want it to sound as full, rich and fat as the major label
guys. If you don't master your project it will sound wimpy and thin compared to
commercial release's.
 | A point to ponder: Mastering can make a good mix beautiful, but
can't make a bad mix good. The best you can hope for with a bad mix is for it to become less bad.
