MIXING & DIGITAL
MASTERING
Mixing covers distributing the track layers onto a virtual 3D phantom image, by tweaking signal levels, frequency ranges, dynamics, and panoramic positions of the project content. Mastering on the other hand is working with the stereo mixdown that has been rendered. It covers quality control, enhancement, objective listening and correction. Not only a poorly mixed project will sound dull and imbalanced, but will sound even worse in mastering. An excellent mix is a pre-requisite for a good final master.
