cd mastering

Do not skip Cd Mastering, it is the most important step in CD production. CD Mastering is the last step before you send your CD to record labels or CD Duplication Companies. The CD Mastering process includes EQ, Dynamics processing and consistent levels from track to track. When your mastering project is complete we run your songs through our five point system, this allows us to make sure that your CD sounds excellent on any system including home stereo, studio, car, club and theater. The outcome will be a perfect “Red Book” master ready for CD Duplication or Replication.

What You Will Need

Make sure that you include a piece of paper that includes the name of each song on the CD and also the order you would like the final CD mastering project to be in. Let us know what you are looking for as far as mastering EQ. Compare your mixes with professional releases; if you feel that a song needs more bass or you want the vocals to stand out more, include it in your mastering package. We can also make the drums punchier or bring out percussion. You can also let us use our professional opinion (we hit the mark every time). All you need to do is send us your songs as DATA on a CD-ROM preferably 24bit 48,000 Hz in WAV or AIFF format. You can also just simply send us your audio CD and we will convert it into the proper format for you. It is important that you do not have your mix pegged to 0db. Keep the level down to -3 to -6 db so that you don’t run the risk of audio distortion. Do not use a limiter or compression on you master mix, we need headroom to work with. If you did not mix the recordings yourself, send them in the way that they are on a normal audio CD and we will master them to perfection.
