Izotope, makers of Ozone, have updated their free guide to mastering. Although it discusses their product (which I like and use), the guide can be of value to anyone who is interested in a readable short guide on the subject of mastering.

We occasionally see posts on this forum asking how to make home recordings sound more like commercial recordings, and one answer is to learn more about what mastering can do to complement mixing.
