Mastering

Mastering is the final step before a track goes out, and it's all about letting the finished mix reach its full potential. Beyond fine-tuning tone and dynamics, it covers quality control, making several songs hang together as a coherent album, and getting the track into the right technical format. Streaming, for instance, has different demands than a vinyl or CD pressing, each of which brings its own technical requirements.

• Is AI mastering good enough?

Yes. You can book mastering on its own, with no mixing involved.
