Mastering is the process of turning a song or collection of songs into a final master for manufacturing so that it translates well across systems: CD player, radio, computer, car stereo, phone, etc.
The process involves:
- Balancing the level and tonal balance (EQ) of songs
- Controlling the dynamic range (how loud and quiet each section is) for the right musical balance of variety and power
- Compressing, EQing, M/S Processing and Limiting so the song is polished
- Creating a secure, reliable manufacturing master, including PQ information, UPC/EAN codes, ISRCs, CD-TextThis can vary from being a very subtle process, involving minor tweaks to polish the existing mixes, to occasionally being a complete rescue mission for problem songs, or where detailed restoration is needed.
