What is Mastering?

 Support the Houston Band Coalition

If you've ever recorded at other studios, you might notice quite a bit of difference between your CD and your favorite CDs from major-label bands. Maybe it's not as punchy or as crisp. Heck...maybe it's also not nearly as loud as all of the other CD's in your collection. It's a good mix....meaning that there is a good balance between all of the instruments. You can hear everything fine, but there is just SOMETHING missing. This is because it still needs to go through the Mastering process. more>
