Well, you might want to, then argue the meaning of "mastering"
with Bob Katz. See, the second edition of his book "Mastering
Audio: The Art and Science" was just published and maybe 99%
of the book deals with stuff that has nothing to do with the
"mechanical end of the process." Indeed, most of what he deals
with have DIRECT effect on the way the final disk sounds.

Though you might dispute the point with Mr. Katz, had I the
op****tunity to wager on the outcome of said dispute, you,
hopefully, won't take offense on who I might choose to
place my bet on.
