Mastering as a separate step has two, maybe three
functions or
merits:
3. To equalise levels and atmosphere and create dramatic effect
when assembling an album consisting of several separate pieces.
The is the only function that remains today, in the circumstances
we are talking about.
Given that nowadays most music is sold in songs, not in albums, and even if
sold in albums, is played in tracks in random order on peoples players, it is
pretty futile to create a consistent effect for several songs...
