Mastering?

So what is mastering? Every major label release is mastered to sonically prepare it for global release. The reason? In the studio you record one song at a time, resulting in songs that all peak at different levels and have different EQ curves. A mastering engineer can unify your album with skillful use of EQ, gain, and compression to give it a consistent sound from track to track. This process also allows the mastering engineer to increase the volume of your overall album so it’s as hot as can be and sounds dynamic and powerful while clear.

To improve your recording the mastering engineer can:

  • Raise the overall level.
  • Even out song levels and EQ individual tracks for cohesion.
  • Correct minor mix deficiencies with equalization.
  • Enhance flow by changing the space between tracks.
  • Eliminate noises between tracks.
  • Make your music sound great on any sound system.
  • Add IRSC codes (required for digital distribution)
  • Add CD-Text information
