Audio restoration is the process of enhancing and repairing audio recordings to improve their quality. This includes removing unwanted noise, clicks, and pops, ensuring a clearer sound for listeners.

The audio restoration process typically involves analyzing the audio file to identify issues, applying specialized software tools to remove noise and artifacts, and then enhancing the overall sound quality. This can include equalization, compression, and other techniques to restore the audio to its best possible state.

Mastering is the process of preparing and transferring recorded audio, usually from a finished mix, to a mastered format (like CD or WAV).

Mastering requires critical listening; results depend upon the intent of the engineer, their skills, the accuracy of the speaker monitors, and the listening environment. 

Mastering engineers often apply equalization and dynamic range normalization and other processes in order to optimize sound translation on all playback systems and to present the audio in its best possible state.
