In this tutorial we will show you a simple method of how to master in Logic. There are many different ways of mastering a track, sometimes using very expensive plugins and outboard equipment, but we will show you a simple, effective method, which you can tailor to suit your track’s individual needs. Mastering is the final process of creating your track, and the aim is to get it sounding as loud and as ‘polished’ as possible, as well as making sure it will sound good on all sound systems.
1. Get your mix sounding as perfect as you possibly can, once you are happy with it, bounce it down to a single .wav or .aiff file, (File>Bounce.) preferably 24 Bit, making sure that it hasn’t clipped at any point, (you can do this by bringing down the master volume of the entire track, we will bring this volume back later…) Working in 24 Bit at this stage prevents any loss in quality when you create your final 16 Bit Master.



There is definitely something to be said for mixing as you go,especially when creating computer based music. But there are also drawbacks. It all really depends on how you produce your music, and which style suits you, and who will be doing the final mixes and masters of your track.
