Thats exactly what I meant, because I make my music on the computer and
then also master it myself (which is more or less studio work). This, of
course, is nothing professional (yet, hopefully :) ), but the mastering
itself also has to be learned and can always be improved. I was talking
about equalization and other psychoacoustic things that are related to
this, e.g. stereo expansion, compression (of the sound, not the data),
enhancement and exciting.
