In this final sixth installment of The Art of Mixing series, you'll get a firsthand look at mastering a complete song from scratch. You'll learn a great deal about referencing and tools that help you make a song match the sound of other songs for cohesion, whether part of an album or a song you want your final master to sound like. You'll also learn about grouping and organization and how mastering tools applied as bus-processing can be helpful in the final stages. Finally, you'll go through all of the standard tools and approaches for making a track stand out and sound finished and radio-ready by looking at EQs, limiters, saturators, and more.
