SEVEN SUGGESTIONS WHILE MASTERING
Before you jump into a marathon mastering session, here are seven things that are good to
remind yourself of periodically.
remind yourself of periodically.
1) Have someone else master your mixes for you. OK, in most project studios we realize
that the same person is often the performer, producer, mixer, and mastering engineer. At
least get someone else to listen with you. Or find someone who will master your mixes if you
least get someone else to listen with you. Or find someone who will master your mixes if you
master theirs. You’re too close to your own music. You’ll hear things other listeners won’t
hear, and you’ll miss things that everyone else does hear.
2) Take breaks and listen to other CDs in between. Refresh your ears in terms of what other
stuff sounds like. OK, the pros just instinctively know what sound they’re working towards, but
for the rest of us being reminded from time to time during the process isn’t such a bad idea.

3) Move your listening position. Studio reference monitors are very focused and directional.
The sound can change significantly depending on your listening position. Shift around a bit.

4) Listen on other speakers and systems. Burn a CD with a few different variations and play it
on your home stereo system, or drive around and listen to it in your car. Don’t obsess over

the specific differences, but just remind yourself what other systems sound like.
5) Check how it sounds in mono. Check how it sounds with the polarity
inverted on one speaker. People will listen to it this way (although
maybe not intentionally) and while your master probably won’t sound
great this way hopefully it won’t completely fall apart either. Ozone
provides a quick check for this by clicking on the Channel Ops button.

You can quickly switch to mono, switch left and right speakers, and flip
the polarity of speakers.
6) Monitor at normal volumes, but periodically check it at a higher
volume. When you listen at low to medium volumes, you tend to hear
more midrange (where the ear is most sensitive) and less of the lows
more midrange (where the ear is most sensitive) and less of the lows
and highs. This is related to something called the Fletcher-Munson
effect, which involves how different frequencies are heard differently
depending on the playback volume. So check from time to time how it
sounds at different volume levels.

7) When you think you’re done, go to bed, and listen again the next morning.
