5 reasons why you need to master your songs

You’ve written a song, found a beat, recorded a new tune, mixed it and now it’s time to share it with the world. Contrary to what you think, the final creative step involved is mastering your music.

Mastering is the act of preparing your song with the best sound quality possible. This can add a spark to your music and make the listening experience more enjoyable.

Here are 5 reasons why you need to master your songs:

1. To enhance the sound quality.

2.To fix song.

Mastering can help with fixing any unnoticeable problems on your songs. Most times you might not hear your music the same way listeners do. Shoddy mixing and poor acoustics will affect the sound of your music. This can be fixed through mastering.

You can also remove unwanted sounds on the song.

3. To ensure listener gets the best experience everywhere.

Have you noticed how music sounds different on your phone, in your car and in the club? Well what you want to do is ensure you sound like a 10 in any playback situation (and in all digital formats).

4.  Volume levels

Mastering can help give your songs a vocal/musical variety. By doing this, you can control how quiet or how loud the different sections of a song are.

It can be used to clean up the tops and tails (beginning and end of songs).

5. Album arrangement

To help you achieve the perfect sequence when you balance your songs against each other.
