We can describe mastering as the final process of music and audio production. It is at this stage that the final volume and mix are optimized to obtain a professional-level result. Mastering helps a production sound better quality and ready for commercial distribution, whether on CD, TV, internet, video games, etc.
"Mastering is the last creative step in the music production process, it is the bridge between mixing and replicating." -Bob Katz.
"It's a way of maximizing the music to make it more effective for the listener, as well as maximizing it perhaps competitively for the industry." -Bernie Grundman
Mastering seeks to ensure that the sound of a production sounds appropriately in all types of devices, places or sound systems depending on its application (home, cinema, headphones, club, etc.). It also wants to be able to play with the right volume (avoiding those annoying volume changes from song to song), clarity, presence and enough force to compete with other commercial productions.
In this course you will learn the most common audio processes used to master music. The concepts you learn in this course can be used in practically any professional audio application and have been extracted from the knowledge of great mastering engineers such as: Bob Katz, Greg Calbi, Bernie Grundman, Bob Ludwig, Doug Sax, among others.
With a little patience and a good dose of practice, you will be able to improve in the process and get better and better quality in the final sound.
