Donīt know if anyone agrees with me on this but hereīs what I think:
Mastering makes the difference between a Amature and a Pro track.
Mastering is really imporant cuz it will make ur mix sound so much better.
Try T-RackS 24. Itīs software. :)

| By mastering, do you mean normalizing the track? As in making the volume as high as it can be without going over the limit where it starts to sound bad? |
|

| normalization is something you do after you have mastered you track. Mastering is using compressors,limiters, eqs and soundenhancers. |

mastering has a few purposes.
1) to increase the overall volume of a track with out distorting.
2) To emphasize, clean up, and make certain sounds sound better in a song, done by eqing different frequencies.
3) To widen up a song, meaning to spread the stereo range farther (eg more distinction between left and right channels).
And of course there's a few more, these are just the most common. |

I agree that it can make the difference between amateur and pro (of course if you master a really stupid bad track really well it isn't very pro either). You make sure your mix sounds nice on all kinds of stereos.....
strictly speaking, mastering is anything that you apply to the entire master mix (usually compression, EQ, enhancers, exciters n stuff) |

| How to master Frtuity tracks? Or what software I can use with Fruity? |
|
|
| robstar |
U donīt master I track in Fruity. Well u could but I do not recomend it.
U can master ur track with:
T-RackS 24
Wavlab 4.0
CoolEdit pro 2.0
Or
SoundForge 6.0
I`m sure thereīs lots of other programs for mastering but those are the once I`ve tried and they are pretty good. |

| that emans you should export you fruity song as a wav file (as you probably would anyway?) and then work with that wav |
