Mastering is sometimes considered to be a black art within audio production and engineering circles.  That was probably appropriate in the past, but these days software mastering tools can put a lot more power in your hands than you may think!  This course is focused on pre-mastering – a phase of finalizing your production before mastering.  Learning to pre-master can give you more control over the final master AND give you a clearer understanding of just what a mastering engineer is doing :)
