What are fossil tracks and how are they made?

What's the best method of mastering tracks made in Garageband?

  • What's the best, easiest method of mastering tracks that were mixed in Garageband? I have started to release some of my own songs, but I'm at a novice level enough that I don't want to pay someone to master them. I realize I mixed them a little low and they could use a bit of overall compression and mastering before exporting and sharing them on the web. For a novice Garageband user who doesn't want anything overly complex and technical, what is the best method of mastering a few tracks? Are there mastering modules that work with GB? Or separate free (or low-paid) apps that would help me make the final export louder and more dynamic?

Garageband supports AU plugins. You can find various lists of free AU plugins to download, http://www.resoundsound.com/25-best-free-vst-au-plugins-pc-mac-2013-part-1/. I'd recommend checking out http://loudmax.blogspot.com/ for a brickwall limiter, and the http://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-kotelnikov/ and http://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-vos-slickeq/ from Tokyo Dawn Labs.

Would it be possible to remix them before you hit them with a mastering stage? Just that it's easier to fix mix issues while mixing if you have the option.
