What’s the difference between mixing and mastering?

Mix and mastering are the latter steps determining your progress as an artist, not just a singer. After you’re done recording a song, you’ll listen to it, and to enhance the parts and pieces which you don’t like or have room for improvement will go through the mixing process. This is the art of combining tons of recorded tapes to get one solid version of your music. Mastering is the smooth playback and rendering once you’re done making your music. In short, you need two different applications and processes to complete mixing and mastering.
