Abstract
Mastering, on the other hand, is the process of refining a recording made after the mixing stage using various techniques before the album is pressed and distributed. The mastering process includes adjusting the dynamics of signal frequencies, regulating tonal balances with equalizers, and determining and downsizing audio file formats. Mastering creates coherence among the tracks within an album and provides listeners with a higher-quality listening experience. The entire process of recording and mixing, encompassing mastering, involves converting signals from analog equipment and software into digital values using an Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter within a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). These software programs have become essential in music productions. Due to the decreasing cost of technology and the opportunities it provides, music production software has shifted towards home users. People can now, without the need for high-budget studios, complete many recording, mixing, and mastering processes entirely with computer-based systems at lower costs in their own homes. The term "in the box" refers to all these production stages taking place within a computer. With the advancement of technology, individuals have been able to produce albums in home studios, and digital processors, which are cheaper and more practical than analog equipment due to the digitization of analog devices, have started to be preferred over analog equipment. This study explores the extent of changes in technical and technological approaches towards the use of digital signal processors (DSP), which emerged in the 1960s, in place of analog processors. The research aims to identify and examine the differences between digital-based signal processors and analog devices in terms of their usage, implementation, and processing in music technologies. This research investigates how digital-based signal processors differ from analog processors in terms of processing method, processing flexibility, processing speed, processing quality, and sensitivity on the audio signal. Based on these findings, it is concluded that digital-based signal processors, which are replacing analog processors in the music industry, do not possess the same qualities as analog devices.
