A mastering engineer is one skilled in the practice of taking audio (typically musical content) that has been previously mixed in either the analog or digital domain as mono, stereo, or multichannel formats and preparing it for use in distribution, whether by physical media such as a CD, vinyl record, or as some method of streaming audio.
Bob Katz, a published author and mastering engineer, has said that mastering is an art form and it should be delegated to a mastering engineer. This task should not be executed even by the best and most experienced multi-track audio and live music engineers.
