A MASTERING PRIMER

Having a certain program or piece of equipment doesn't mean you will do a good job mastering.  Knowing the media you are trying to master for and knowing the approach to the job is the basis of successful mastering.

AN EXAMPLE OF MASTERING

The example tune used is "God Bless America" by Muruga and the Global Village Ceremonial Band.  This is the first of four cuts on their "Find the Peace and Love Inside" release.  The audio demos include intro, verse & chorus of the un-mastered and fully mastered mix as well as samples of key portions of the tune for each step of the mastering process as described in the Article "An Example of Mastering a Tune."  Graphics showing the change in the appearance of the waveforms are also included.
