So basically: mixing is making the instruments sound good with each other while mastering is making the whole mix sound good on all systems. Got it

Informative and straight to the point, nice!

Mixing: cohesion / vision
Mastering: competitive continuity on as many systems as possible / the last 1-3% polish

Glen, this is the perfect format for quick, one off questions.

Really appreciate you doing these "for dummies" explanations for those that enjoy your content but have no clue what half the stuff means

Mixing: Tuning and placement of your tracks individually as you see fit. This includes your sound/instruments and your vocals.

Mastering: Tuning and enhancing everything as a whole under one track. Unlike mixing, where you deal with individual tracks, the mastering is one track that holds all your mixes or everything in your project (the master track). This is where whatever changes you make, affects every sound/instruments and vocals on your project. This is the last step to give your entire project that lively boost so it comes close(depends on how experienced you are) or meets up to professional standards.

Dammit, it was probably the most useful 49 sec video I could ever find. THANK YOU

Perfect! Easy enough for my bassist to rewatch a few times and also within my drummer's attention span 👍

I love this format. 1 question, 1 answer explained like I'm an idiot. Perfection.

Mastering is when you take your carefully crafted mix, and compress it down into an undifferentiated, continuous brick of sound with no peaks or dynamics of any kind. The louder, the gooder.
