When you get done recording an album or a couple songs at a studio, what is usually your biggest complaint when comparing it to CDs released by major labels? "It's not loud enough" and/or "it lacks a warm, full sound." This is where mastering steps in. Mastering can raise the overall volume or loudness of your recording through compression, limiting, and various other dynamic processing. It also helps to achieve that "full sound" by applying various EQs. Not only do these techniques help to increase the volume of your recording but it also helps to ensure that all of the tracks on the album sound uniform. Mastering also helps to rid the recording of unwanted noise or pops and excessive dead space between tracks.
