What Is Audio Mastering?
Audio mastering is the final step in the music production process. It’s where your mixed track is enhanced to achieve clarity, balance, and consistency across all playback systems. Mastering ensures your music sounds professional, whether it’s played on headphones, car speakers, or a concert sound system.
In mastering, the overall tone and dynamics of your track are refined. This includes adjusting EQ, compression, and loudness to ensure your music meets industry standards. Additionally, mastering prepares your track for distribution by optimizing it for streaming platforms, CDs, or vinyl.
Simply put, audio mastering transforms a great mix into a polished, release-ready track ready to captivate your audience.
