The mastering process is the final stage in the recording chain where a finished master is created and the CD, DVD, vinyl or audio file master parts are produced for manufacture. This process involves editing and compiling the required mixes and tracks in production order, cleaning the audio to remove any unwanted blemishes or corruptions and polishing the mixed sound with equalisation, compression and other outboard processing. This is the last opportunity before manufacture or release to ensure that the music fits together seamlessly and that it is presented in the best possible sound. The secret of successful mastering is a combination of a skilful engineer, traditional and state-of-the-art equipment and well-balanced acoustics.
