After baking you have a nice layered cake which is your mix. The production elements are all of the ingredients. The easiest way to think about mastering a track is comparing it to a cake. The end goal is a published, loud, clean sound that’s optimized for consistent playback across different formats and systems. This can involve aspects such as adjusting levels, applying stereo enhancements, and monitoring unwanted clicks and pops–basically anything that can distract the listener from the music.

Mastering a song involves taking the mix and putting the final touches on it, enhancing the overall sound, and getting the music ready for distribution to places like streaming services or physical formats like CDs and vinyl.
