What is Production?

A producer is someone who can manage the recording process from end to end: gathering requirements, hiring specialists if needed (such as musicians or engineers), choosing equipment, coordinating with artist agents, and booking studio time. The producer supervises recording, mixing, and mastering.

A producer may fulfill one, some, or all of these functions, depending on the scope of the project. A producer-engineer can perform some of the technical roles themselves, instead of hiring specialists.

The producer's main function is to relieve the artist of technical and administrative burdens, and deliver a finished product that fits the artist's vision.

What is Mixing?

Mixing adjusts the relative loudness and tone of a track's instruments into a finished song. The instruments in a mix are featured depending on their role. Lead instruments are edged forward. The timbre of each instrument is adjusted to give it space alongside the other instruments, so that all can be heard clearly.

What is Mastering?

Mastering prepares the finished stereo mix for distribution to an audience. Mastering adjusts the overall tonal balance so that the track is neither too bright nor dull. The loudness of the track is adjusted to fit alongside other tracks of the same genre, for example big and punchy for pop/dance, airy and subtle for ambient/classical/folk. 

In some cases, stem mastering can be ideal. Stems are stereo sub-mixes of a track's major groups, for example vocals, instruments, bass, and drums. This allows the mastering engineer to process parts with similar characteristics in an ideal way without affecting other parts, say by brightening vocals without affecting cymbals and hi-hats.
