In the recording studio, you record one song at a time, and the focus of the recording or mixing engineer is to make each song sound great. The result, however, is generally a collection of songs that all peak at different levels and have different effects. In the post-production phase (called mastering), a Studio D professional engineer unifies the CD by using EQ, compression, and other dynamics processing to give it a consistent sound from track to track. In addition, post production can raise your album's overall level through the careful use of compression, which makes your project more competitive with the other releases. Studio D's mastering engineer also ensures that your music will sound its best - whether it's being played through a car stereo, a portable CD player, or a top-of-the-line stereo system.
