3. Set Up Chain
   Typical order: EQ → Compression → Stereo Widener → Harmonic Enhancer → Limiter.
4. Apply Tools
   Adjust frequencies, dynamics, width, and harmonics carefully. Avoid overprocessing.
5. A/B Test
   Compare original and mastered versions for clarity, dynamics, and balance.
6. Export
   Save as a 16-bit, 44.1kHz WAV with metadata.
