Mastering
Mastering is the process of taking a mixed song and adjusting it so that it is ready for release. It is the final step in the music production process before distribution.
The Benefits of Mastering a Song
It is essential that you have the final mix mastered by a professional engineer. Songs should meet the criteria for different distribution methods such as streaming platforms, CD, radio and vinyl.
Loudness is usually enhanced when mastering. It is important though to consider that making a song louder lowers the dynamic range, thus making your song less engaging and even tiring.
It is important to get your final mix mastered professionally to apply the finishing touches. Changes are both creative and corrective and can take your great sounding mix to the next level.
Stem mastering is a type of mastering that involves separating the mix of a song into its individual stems (such as drums, vocals, and instruments, effects) and mastering each stem separately before recombining them.
