Master a product using a DAW.
Mastering should include
- dynamic processing (e.g., limiting EQ, multiband compression)
- spatial imaging
- dithering
- metadata management
- file conversion.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What flexibility does a multiband compressor have that a regular compressor does not?
- How does panning relate to stereo imaging?
- What is dynamics processing, and what effect does it achieve?
- When should one use spatial imaging?
- What information should be included in the metadata of the song?
