Does mastering change the sound much? I get that it brings the average level
and the peak level closer together, so that it always sounds the same on
every system, but does it actually change things that much? Its been talked
of as if its some magic elixer for the tracks - I must admit Im happy with
how they sound now, and I guess I will only know once the tracks are
back......

Anyways!

Besides optimizing levels, mastering can:

1. Ensure that all elements(tracks or groups of tracks) of a song have
a "space" in the mix both spectrally and spatially, through the use of
EQ, reverb, echo, and stereo panning.


I think this task has to be done during MIXING not Mastering...
