December: Mastering

These days, the "master" part of the mastering process is too often absent. And in an age when so many recordings seem to be self-written, self-produced and self-engineered, an outside, third-party perspective may be exactly what the project needs. Once all other stages are completed, mastering offers that one final chance to add (or delete!) that touch to bring the project closer to perfection, whether it's EQ, dynamics or even editing that third bridge from a song. Gear provides signal processing and manipulation, but an expert opinion from a human perspective won't come out of any rack or plug-in.
