What is the difference between a mix and a master?

A mix in the concept of “chopping up” a song adding things included but not limited to effects, drops, and auto tuning. Mixing a song can be imagined as mixing a bowl of cookie dough, during a mixing process the piece of work becomes equalized meaning that the voice and instrumental come together as one easy listening tune ready to “be baked in the oven” A master is, “the baking in the over”, it puts the finishing polish on the piece of work. Mastering includes referencing a songs quality on seven different devices to be sure that the high pitches and low pitches of the song are the same throughout the entire piece of work. Mastering can take hours to weeks depending on the complexity on the piece of work.

Does my song need a master?

Remember when we referenced cookie dough? Sometimes you can eat cookie dough without putting it in the over, but if you put eggs in your cookie dough, you really shouldn’t eat it until it’s been baked. For a piece of work that includes singing or will hit the market as a high quality song (to be sold, on a album, or put on media outlets), we suggest you get it mastered. If you are just looking to put out content at a very fast pace, or creating a piece of work for something you don’t see longevity in a mix will suffice.

Can you download my song off the Internet?
