How to Save Time and Money with Online CD Mastering
By Thomas Morva
Online CD mastering is a great time saving option for recording artists working on a deadline. This process involves the artist sending the rough mixes of the music to the CD mastering studio via the Internet. After the music is transferred to the mastering facility, the engineer adjusts sound levels, sequences the songs, and provides other services to give the music a professional sound. After the songs are mastered, the engineer mails the finalized product back to the recording artist.
Getting music mastered online saves the recording artist time and money. The music is transferred over the Internet, by email or file transferring protocol (FTP). There is no need to pay shipping costs and no need to wait days before the mastering facility receives the music. This requires some knowledge of computers. However, if the recording artist is unsure how to proceed, people at the online mastering studio can surely assist with the online transfer.
Once the music is received at the mastering facility, the engineers begin work. Online CD mastering involves sequencing the tracks with the artist's input, equalizing the tracks, sound matching, and other services. Keep in mind that it is vital that a CD is mastered if the artist wants their music heard on the radio or any other commercial format. After the CD is mastered, songs are sequenced in an appropriate order, the length of time between songs is managed, with edits to the intros and endings of songs added as needed, and instruments on the recording are clearer and more distinct. Online CD mastering gives music the professional sound and high quality sheen necessary for commercial success.
Online CD mastering engineers can use analog or digital equipment to make the songs sound as good as possible. Online CD mastering facilities offer all of the services of any other mastering studio, only within a quicker time period, without waiting for mail to be delivered or paying shipping costs. The only wait occurs when the mastering engineer mails the finished product back to the artist.
