MASTERING EXAMPLES mp3>>>

2 Transfer of the material to hi definition format of 24 bit 88,2 khz in order to eliminate all the errors possible during processing. In digital domain resolution in which we work has big importance because of errors, which cumulate when the material of low resolution is being processed. It happens, because the lower resolutions have shorter sequence of zeros and ones (called digital word)  which describe a single sample. Therefore low resolution cuts off what can not be described by short digital words. Cumulating of errors repeats every time  when we do any processing to the material, even when we just change the volume. Using the high resolution eliminates the errors which happen during low resolution processing.

3 Correction of sound spectrum as needed. We also use such devices as analogue eq or top class reel to reel tape deck.
 

4 Dynamic balance. Dynamics of the recording is the difference between the most quiet and the loudest moments and also between momentary impulses (called transients) and average level.  Typically best results are obtained with use of relatively big dynamic differences, even for the music such as heavy metal rock. Too much compression causes loss of punch and strength of the recording and also the definition of sound. From the other hand if the differences in dynamics are too big the recording lacks roundness and level. Therefore the main aim of this step is  to obtain ideal dynamic coherency.

5 Correction of phase and panorama of the recording. It is very important because it makes sound much more natural and detailed.

6 Touches on ambient content of the recording using reverb on certain frequencies, as needed. Dry recordings never sound good. Adding the right amount of ambience at certain frequencies makes it sound much better and natural.   

7 Final setting the best sonic balance between the bass, middle and the hi end of recording.

8 Working up the highest level possible without destroying the sound quality and artistic credo. The level is an important factor in perception of a recording. Even very well arranged and produced song can lose some of it's impact if it is too quiet. We use optimum methods to reach hi level without any sonic compromise.

9 Hi quality dithering. The dithering hcan have big influence on sound.  The right dithering lets us perceive digital sound as more transparent.  It emphasizes the details especially in quiet passages, such as reverb tails and other sonic nuances like distant backgrounds or synthesizer pads. It gives significant improvement to the quality of recording.
