What is another word for over mastering?
Pronunciation: [ˌə͡ʊvə mˈastəɹɪŋ] (IPA) 
The term "over mastering" is related to audio production and refers to the process of over-processing tracks to the point where they lose their natural sound and dynamic range. To describe this concept, there are several synonyms that can be used, including overcompression, overlimiting, overprocessing, or overequalizing. These terms all refer to the same basic idea of pushing tracks too far in the mastering process, resulting in a flat, artificial sound. Other related terms include "brickwalling," which refers specifically to over-limiting to the point where peaks are completely clipped, and "loudness war," which describes the competitive tendency among producers to make their tracks as loud as possible at all costs.
