The difference Between audio Mixing Audio Mastering

Audio Mastering: First off, lest define audio mastering. Audio mastering is a form of post production. It prepares your final mix to its final destination source and this source is used for CD Replication and Duplication. Mastering also involved the use of audio processing. It will enhance the final mix with the use of EQ, Compression/Limiting, Image Enhancement and Noise Reduction techniques. It also arranged the final sequenced track order.

Mastering uses a stereo mix down of the final mix. You do not dither and you do not change the bit depth or sample rate. You keep them both at their original depths.

Audio Mixing involves the use of single tracks and each track is processed in the context of the mix. In mixing you can use any effects that is needed to get the sound your going for. They include Delays, Reverbs, Compressors.Limiters, Chorus, Flangers and special Panning techniques. an example of a professional audio mixing and mastering studio is this right here >>> http://www.audio-mastering-mixing.com.

Looking at each definition, you can now see what audio mixing and audio mastering are different. With mixing, you use the tracks in the song and add effects to the tracks as needed and in audio mastering, you use a stereo wave file that was mixed down and kept at its original sample rate and bit depth

 Why should you have your songs professionally mastered? there are allot of reasons, but a few that stick out are:

• It will give your song a way to compete with professionally released CDs
• It can be the difference between your song sounding good and great
• It can be the difference between getting a job or being signed by record label

Ashly Audio Clx-52 2-Channel Peak Compressor/Limiter $359 The Ashly CLX-52 is a 2-channel compressor/limiter that uses an "infinite soft-knee" characteristic and timing based on compression ratio. This, combined with a dual release time, allows program density to increase as the input signal increases. The result is a peak controller with very low noise, smooth sound, and excellent stereo tracking, and without the usual "constricted" limiter sound. The CLX-52 has many ways to deal with any gain structure. The mechanical design is ready for years of rugged service and is backed by Ashly's exclusive Five Year Worry-Free Warranty. The CLX-52 is extremely useful for such diverse applications as loudspeaker protection, vocal level control, broadcast limiting, musical instrument sustain, special effects, and CD to cassette transfers.Extremely low noise and distortion Dual release time for minimum "pumping" Detector Patch Point Wide-range control of all parameters Powerful peak control with minimum audible side effects Both XLR and 1/4" input and output connectors Balanced Inputs and Outputs Five Year Warranty
