We control the total level balancing, the sonic caracter and a gap between songs to ensure your music as good as possible and as expressive as we are capable.
The number of CDs are produced by a glass master in a factory.
After mixdown, our experienced mastering engineer does the following process.
1. We set proper song order, gaps and cross-fades between songs.
2. We reduce unwanted noise in your songs.
3. We maximize dynamics of your songs as powerful as we can to use a high quality analogue compressor and EQ. It will add brightness to your songs.
