The Mastering Show #102 - What IS 'translation' in mastering ?
Description
Translation is one of the main goals of mastering - make the music sound great on any platform, and any delivery format.

The answer to this paradox is deceptively simple - and powerful. In this episode I explain the common misconception of what 'translation' is; what the term really means to me, and share three simple suggestions to help you get your music to translate - on any playback system.
