Should I master my iOS GarageBand album?
I have been recording a concept album entirely with my iPhone. It's very rock/folk rock oriented and then has minimal hip hop beats created with GarageBand's Crate Digger drum pad. The essence of the album is that it's very unpolished and purposely rough around the edges. I have put out two albums before recorded on my computer and I have never ever had my music mastered. I don't really know what it means, or if I should contemplate doing it on my tracks before I release the album. I have looked in to BandLab and other free websites like that, but I wasn't sure if their before and after tactics were just making the original track quieter and bass-boosting the new track. Either way, I'm looking to spend like no cash. Thanks a lot! If this comes off as naive, it is, so I expect a few jerks to have some upset (for some reason) answers.
