Audio CD Mastering

Question: Why should I use an Audio CD Mastering Engineer   for CD Mastering ? Answer: It is true. A good  Audio recording Engineer can make your music sound as if it is a good finished product; therefore, it will appear that an Audio CD Mastering is not needed. That is because he knows his tools and understand the use of high pass, low pass and band pass filters.  However,it does  need to be checked  for  proper leveling and checked  to see if the frequencies  are the best that  they can be.  To do that it takes  some  specialized  gear and a  skilled  technician to do the  enhancement, leveling, smoothing ,rolling off,cleaning and red booking  just to name a  few.  An Audio CD Mastering Engineer's gear  in his  Audio CD Mastering Studio is  high end He will   have a hardware  Audio CD Mastering Compressor that's  also high-end. Why? A high end Audio CD mastering Compressor  will affect the  peak amplitude to make it less loud as well as improve presence and more clearly. Furthermore  you will notice the difference when the changes are  made. But there's more An Audio CD Mastering Engineer's  Audio CD Mastering Studio  has the Audio Mastering  hardware and  Audio Mastering software to tighten or roll off  your bass drum,kick drum,bass guitar,acoutic guitar,lead guitar,power guitar,snares and ride. Tightening up these instruments gives  your other instruments more room to breathe;thus you hear more. Sometimes tightening can be done with a notch on the instrument's frequency's octave. Now at this  point you are really impressed but then there's more Hopefully all you need is a limiter and gate. If not,a Parametric EQ is needed ( It must be hardware. No self  respecting Audio Mastering Engineer would be caught without one) to improve presence and remove unwanted harmonics. Removing unwanted Audio Harmonics improve the clarity in  your Audio CD Mastering tracks.Again, sometimes a notch at the frequency's site or at it's octave can remove Harmonics. No two instruments can share the same space in frequency  at the same time. They will fight. The result is distortion (distortion that's naturally occurring, not distortion that's electronically induced). My weapon of choice is a Manley Massive Passive EQ that can cut,  deep with various Audio CD Mastering software. Manley can cut up to  60 decibels  per octave on the low pass filter.  Many times  you may not  realize that your instruments  were  fighting   until you  hear the difference in sound.  Now at this point you are totally blown away and sold on CD Mastering! An Audio Mastering Engineer will make sure the levels in  your Audio CD Mastering  project are all at  the same audio amplitude.  Now your music CD is a finished product     I do free samples Click here!
