I think I'm getting it mixed up with "mixing". Mixing is when all of the sounds are leveled (some more in the fore, some more in the back, some in between) to get the final song.

A definition, courtesy of thefreedictionary.com:
Quote:
mix:
5a. To combine (two or more audio tracks or channels) to produce a composite audio recording.
b. To produce (a soundtrack or recording) in this manner.
I'm starting to think mixing and mastering fall pretty much under the same general set of duties. And example: HS (Mastered by Tom Coyne). Argh. I hope that helped.
