Audio Mastering is the final step in the process of music making. Once the audio tracks have been recorded and mixed, they are sent for the mastering process. What can the mastering achieve for the tracks? This is a common question asked by the musicians and the artists. Most of the musicians consider the process of mastering as unessential. As per them, if the track has been composed and recorded perfectly, there is little left to be done to improve its impact. However, the mastering engineer begs to differ. What the mastering does to the track may not be achieved in any prior stages of production. /*No Link*/ fine-tune the whole mix. When the recorded mix is sent for mastering, the mastering engineer listens to the entire mix as an individual entity and focuses on improvising the whole mix, rather than individual aspects. When there are more than one tracks involved, mastering becomes indispensable. The tracks are edited and fine-tuned to sound perfect. There is a great deal of consistency added to the tracks to prepare them for the commercial purpose. A non- mastered song is not ready for the radio. When mastering is performed on the tracks, they become capable of being aired on any medium and not just on the medium on which it was created. This is the characteristic of professionally made music tracks. Mastering is like packaging your songs perfectly to make them saleable in the music market. Those who are serious about the marketability of their songs cannot forego the need for mastering them.
