Mastering
Info
As
we begin to listen and process each song and begin to work on your cd, our goal is to create a
final master which is clear, big, and balanced. A
common issue is how loud should the master be? That
is part of the expertise in knowing just where
the optimal tone and level is for both the song, and
the overall cd. We spend a lot of time and care in
creating the best possible master for you,
living with it, listening intimately for hours
on end. As you listen you develop a sense for
which direct to go sonically. Each song has its
special characteristics which need to be
highlighted, while maintaining continuity with
all the other songs.
When working on a master we prefer not to rush and live with it for
awhile so we can become familiar with the music. This enables us to create a
betters sounding master. Usually at least 1 week is preferred.
