Mastering! This is the last step in our guide and essentially the last step in making a song or album. One should, in practice, mix at low volumes and try as best as possible to have a simple and solid song before even thinking of adding some of these plugins. I've done Mastering for a lot of friends and fellow Youtubers, and in that time the thing I keep coming back to is that Mastering doesn't fix a bad mix. However, it does take a song from a slightly-less listenable form and give it the polish and volume leveling it needs to become what you hear on a CD or Radio. Those of you working on an EP or Album definitely will want to see how this all works to get consistent sound and level.
