..Setting up a Mix
..Mastering is simultaneously the last step in the creative process and the first step in the manufacturing process. Mastering is about the creation of a final product. In CD Mastering, you collect the final music mixes that make up the product (the CD), and adjust them so that they all sound like they belong together on the same CD. These adjustments might include:
EQ
To even out the frequency balance of each song.
To help match the sound of all of the songs to each other.
Compression
To gently even out the dynamics of the mix.
To smooth out some of the transient attacks in the mix.
Limiting
To lift the overall amplitude level of the mix, making it "louder".
To bring out some of the quieter details by raising them up in relation to the louder parts.
Ambience
To add a sense of space or size to the overall mix.
Image adjustment
To fix any problems in the left/right symmetry of the mix.
To adjust the overall width of the stereo image.
Trimming the start and end of each piece
To create pleasing fade-ins and fade-outs.
Level matching
To ensure that all of the songs on the CD feel like they are at the same loudness.
Assembling the songs in order and adjusting the space between each song
To create good pacing from one song to the next.In much of our industry, the term Mastering is also used when referring to the act of taking one mix, all by itself, and adding a little EQ, compression, and so forth, just to make it sound better. Technically, that's not true Mastering, since there's no element of assembling a final product or creating a delivery Master . Mastering is really about the assembly of a fixed, final product from a large set of assets, like ten or twelve final mixes of songs.High Water ( video logo )
