When you're recording and mixing a song, you obviously need all these extra tracks you've got. ardour is a multitrack recording software that lets you record many tracks, overdub them, apply effects, etc, etc. Mastering is done after the final mix to avoid a phenomenon some people call "overmixing". If I just pass out my mix, there's a fair chance I mixed it to sound good on my gear - and if you stick it in your car, it'll suddenly sound all muddy and gross. Mastering is like the art of getting a mix to sound good anywhere. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Pope has a Water Cannon. It is a Water Cannon. He fires Holy-Water from it.
