Why Mastering ?
In the recording studio, you record one song at a time, and the focus of the recording or mixing
engineer is to make each song great. The result is usually a collection of songs that all peak at
different levels and may have different EQs. In the post-production phase (called mastering), a
professional engineer unifies the CD by using EQ, compression, and other dynamics
processing to give it a consistent sound from track to track.
In addition, post production can raise your album's overall level through the careful use of
compression, so your album can compete with any major label release. The mastering
engineer also ensures that your music will sound great - whether it's being played through a
car stereo, a portable CD player, or a top-of-the-line stereo system. In CD Mastering, the sound
of your CD will be optimized, making it sound punchy, warm, and full, while raising the overall
level (volume) and highlighting details that aren't already apparent. Post production is also
helpful for addressing issues such as "pops," out-of-phase tracks, and overall noise reduction.
A fresh pair of ears can be the difference between a good-sounding CD and a great one. A real
advantage of post production is that an unbiased sound professional has the opportunity to
evaluate your master and determine how to get the most out of your production. After you've
spent weeks or even months in a recording studio listening to your CD over and over again, a
fresh pair of ears can put the project into perspective for you and let you know whether or not
your CD will benefit from post production. After all, you only have one chance to make your
music sound its best. The choice is up to you.
