Not necessarily the next step. They could still spend a lot of time tweaking, doing overdubs, harmonies, adding instrumentation, etc (which could possibly take place in L.A. and not Nashville).

However, mastering IS the FINAL step. It's the icing on the cake. It's basically a process of making the each song on an album sound consistent with one another as far as volume, crispness, and audibility.

Hope that helps.
