What's the difference between final mixing and mastering? Basically, after all of the tracking has been completed, you start the process of mixing. This is the process of adjusting levels, panning, and eq's to get a balanced sound. Once those adjustments are made and song mixes are complete, you have a final mix. Most final mixes are left at lower volumes to allow for more more head room during the mastering process. During the mastering phase, the final mix will be tranformed into a broadcast quality mix. Please keep in mind, your master will only be as good as the final mix. So attention to detail is critical. During the mastering phase songs can be placed in a final order and all media (song title's etc,) information written to the mastered cd. These are just a few of the steps involved explaining final mixes and mastering. Hope to see you soon in the studio.
