Mastering
is widely misunderstood, often
mangled, and sometimes mistaken
for mixing. So, what is mastering?
It's the audio step that comes
just before manufacturing a
CD. Some people would even say
it's a crucial step.
Once
you have finished recording
and mixing your songs, the tracks
are shaped, sculpted, scooped,
equalized, compressed, and finessed
into sonic splendor (well, you
hope) through the audio process
known as mastering. Mastering
is what gives depth, punch,
clarity and volume to your tracks.
It is part science, part craft,
and part alchemy. . . just like
songwriting, singing, performing
and recording.
