Mixing And Mastering Question

Will somebody expain what the difference is between Mixing and Mastering an album?

Thanks

Mixing = Blending the seperate instruments/vocals on the multi-track tape to acheive the desired balance

Mastering = Preparing the final mix for public consumption...includes equalizing and sometimes compressing and editing

Remixing = making a brand new mix

Remastering = making a new master for public consumption, different than the one previously used


The tems "remixed and remastered" are kind of stupid when used together...because when you make a new mix, you *automatically* have to make a new master.

 

Correct.... the same stupid infos on the first both Ozzy remasters. They were remixed and remastered.
