What Is Involved In The Mastering Process?
Mastering involves:
1.) Volume Level Maximization.
2.) Ensuring consistent, relative volume levels from song to song.
3.) Ensuring proper track transitions, spacing, and fade ins/outs.
4.) Ensuring a consistent balance of frequencies between songs (enough bass, mids, and highs throughout compilation)
5.) Possible noise reduction.
6.) Encoding UPC, ISRC, CD Text, and other PQ information.
7.) Error checking to ensure the integrity of the data stream during duplication/replication at any CD manufacturing plant.
Why Should I Have My Recording Mastered?
3 reasons to have your recording mastered:
1.) To give your recording that professional, commercially-released, high-end studio sound.
2.) To have an experienced set of trained ears listen to your material with a fresh perspective (someone who was not present during the production process).
3.) Because your music is not complete without this vital process!
