Beginning with the essentials of preparation, the book addresses the nature of mastering and the importance of listening. The chapters cover a wide range of topics including compression, EQ, saturation, metering, LUFS, and delivery formats. The book discusses all the processors involved in a mastering chain, finishing with a step-by-step guide of how they can be used, though an example of how a track by DJ Nicky Holloway was mastered. Covering plug-ins and hardware, this is an invaluable guide to mastering EDM, supported by numerous online audio examples.
