Mastering is the vital final step in the recording process.

At the mastering stage adjustments are made to the audio tone-wise if necessary. This is to ensure that bass, mid and treble frequencies are refined to achieve the best listening experience possible over a wide range of equipment. Volume is also adjusted for each track to allow consistency across a project. The final track order, gaps between tracks and track IDs are set and ISRC information is added for worldwide digital verification. If you'd like to learn more about ISRC codes, click here.
