Mastering is your best (and final) opportunity to examine your project holistically and fine-tune it for your intended listener. It helps your album to sound balanced from start to finish, and to translate evenly and predictably into any listening environment.

Mastering helps to address any shortcomings in your mixes, augment their strengths, make edits, crossfades, add as much (or as little) substance and body as your recording calls for, set your overall volume levels to play well along side commercially produced recordings, and make full use of the sonic resolution available on your final medium, be it CD, vinyl, mp3, DVD, etc. It is the glue that turns a collection of songs into an album, a balanced listening experience that feels right from beginning to end. Your mastered recording is guaranteed redbook-standard and can be used as a press-ready master by commercial reproduction facilities.
