Mastering audio?

There is a process called mastering.  Having worked in a post secondary institution, let me tell  you, this is not about another degree.

No, this is about taking what you hear.  Audio sounds.  Putting them into a recorded form.  Then mixing the sounds to get a balance between inputs.  And finally you do the mastering.

Today, I had the mixing done on a song.  I pulled a mastering program off the internet (I’ll let  you know what it is at a later point).  Ran the song through the anaylsis of the mastering program.  Outputted a .wav file.  Created a CD to play on various machines.  Finally, I sat down and listened on a cheap CD player, and on a machine that would be considered mid range.  It actually sounds good.

Put your orders in now.  Release date for the full CD is September 28th.  "Testify" by Wayne Gibson!

This was just plain fun!!
