Would someone *cough*cough*Massive*cough*cough* explain what the process of mastering is (just the general ideas) and what benefit it gives? Thanks!
 
mastering is?

1.Final Polish on the Eq
2.Smooth out the levels of the wave
3.Raise the level of the song
4.Trim the song on the front and back and fade if necessary
5.Make necessary adjustments to bring out the clarity
6.Get the highest quality you can then dither it back to Redbook CD
Of course there is more, but those are the basics and we all want major label sound produced from the CD.
 
Yeah, in a nutshell...

The easy answer would be - Mastering is listening to a track, "visualizing" the track's full potential, then doing whatever it takes to get it there.

Have you read through some of the stuff at the MM site? That might answer a question or two...
