Mastering is a critical step before pressing a CD. It requires a dedicated listening environment with calibrated acoustics and specialized equipment. Mastering is more than just putting the songs in order and inserting spacing between songs. Tools such as compression, EQ, and noise reduction are used to guarantee that the sound is optimized for a range of listening devices such as car radios and home stereos. There is as much art as science involved in the process, given the huge tonal selection that can be achieved in the CD format.
