Mix feedback and mastering solve different problems. This guide shows which issues belong in the mix, which belong in mastering, and when stem mastering is the practical middle path.
Use this pre-mastering evaluation to catch balance, headroom, stereo, and export problems while you can still fix the mix instead of asking mastering to repair it.
Stereo width is not just panning. Learn how to read correlation, side energy, mono fold-down, and frequency-specific width before a wide mix becomes a weak mix.
Frequency balance is not a flat spectrum. It is the right energy distribution for the song, genre, arrangement, and playback target.
