Part 4/7:
To illustrate the interplay between mixing and mastering, Dean shared his personal experience with an upcoming single. He initiated the process by crafting the mix, ensuring it sounded as polished as possible before sending it off to a mastering engineer.
During the review, the mastering engineer noted that the vocals in the chorus were too loud. Dean was responsible for addressing such specific adjustments in the mix, as mastering would work with the overall file, not individual tracks. After several rounds of feedback and revisions between Dean and the mastering engineer, the project transitioned to mastering.
