What is Mastering?

Most recordings can benefit from having an objective, outside set of ears to help apply that finishing sheen, treat problem frequencies, reduce unwanted noise, and make it punchier, louder, and more consistent from song to song; or simply just to tell you it's perfect and you're done. This process, called 'mastering,' is especially important if your project was recorded or mixed in a less-than-ideal setting-- your bedroom, a basement studio, your mom's attic. Even large facilities have sonic anomalies that may not translate well to smaller systems, and when a release is destined for analog formats like vinyl or even cassette tape, mastering is absolutely essential.
