The human auditory perception is very receptive. We humans can hear only sounds that fall under the audible frequency range of 20 to 20000 hertz. Sounds with a higher gradient are too loud and sometimes causes uneasiness. Sounds which are too low become inaudible. There needs to be a equanimity in the quality of sound that is being broadcasted to us. This medium is very essential to us as most of our media broadcasts either on television or through the radio why even cd’s and dvd’s that sell in markets invariably contain audio in them.

Audio Mastering is a professional practice – a specialized skill that is performed during post-production, as a part of general editing. In this method, the sound file is is processed in a manner as to enhance the sound’s quality which is then transferred onto a recording medium such as a DVD/CD diskette.

Audio mastering fundamentally on improving the quality of sound; several processes ensue as a part of increasing the quality of sound – cutback is one important process carried out in the beginning. Compression is another task that is done alongside the process noise slackening.

Finally, the audio file is sequenced and the digitally mastered audio file is then placed to a medium such as the CD or the DVD.
