Mastering software is a computer program that uses various algorithms to create a master music. The software is gaining too much popularity in recent times due to its capability to improve imperfection, mixing tracks, and adjust the level of volumes. The mastering of music includes audio restoration, stereo enhancement, and EQ. In audio restoration hiccups in the original mix like unwanted clicks, pops or hisses are fixed, while stereo enhancement deals with the spatial balance (left to right) of your audio, and EQing corrects any spectral imbalances and enhances elements that need to stand out.
