What is music mastering?
Mastering in music is the final step in the recording process where a mix is refined and processed to optimize its sonic characteristics and prepare it for distribution or release. During the mastering process, various audio treatments are applied to the mix, such as adjusting levels, applying stereo enhancement, and correcting problem frequencies, to ensure that the final output is as loud as it can be, without sacrificing track dynamics and clarity, while maximizing the stereo field.
For example, compression may be used in the mastering process to achieve more consistent dynamics throughout a piece of music. It is essentially used in the same philosophy as using a compressor in other stages of music production. In mastering, compression is applied to the entire stereo mix instead of individual tracks. Compression and limiting are similar in terms of processing audio dynamics, but compression is generally used at low ratios and high thresholds. Most mastering engineers use high thresholds and low ratios, typically 1.2:1 or 1.5:1, in order to achieve just 1 or 2 dB of gain reduction. The idea is that less compression is better, as overcompression could make a master sound like a demo.
