What does it all mean?

Production - is the entire process behind taking a basic song or idea for a composition and taking that idea from start to finish. Starting with a vocal idea, guitar and vocal, a sample or some simple chords, a good producer will interpratate that idea into a song and develope it into a full production of instrumentation, vocals with an arrangement and structure to the song.

Mixing - Mixing or mixing down is the final stage of completing a song and is the process of balancing all the elements ie, the vocals, drums, bass, keyboards, strings, synths and FX etc. and creates the final sound for the song before the mastering stage.

Mastering - Is the final stage before manufacturing a single, EP or album and is like putting the icing on the cake and adds the clarity & sparkle the songs need for commercial release. It also brings the sound level of a final mix up to commercial standard, so when played against anything telse hat is available to buy it doesn't sound to low or is lacking in sonics.
