Also, the process of Mastering by Stems, Digital Master for online platforms such as itunes, soundcloud, streaming audio, among others, Meters and the Recommendation EBU R128 and the new responsibilities of mastering in the informal production environments we face today, were mentioned.

The method of the panel was to offer through the speakers' experiences the specific issues they deal in mastering, but focused for engineers who work professionally in the fields of mastering and mixing. In each subject the opportunity to share opinions by the audience was always open; however, along the the discussion, new concerns and questions were presented by the speakers and assistants. The event began with the participation of the moderator Jonnathan González from Ene Audio, who opened the panel with the processes to consider when delivering a mix to the Mastering process.
