What is the mastering eect?
When creating a CD from your recorded
songs, it’s important to manage the overall
volume so that the loudest section of your
songs will stay within the available range of
the CD. However this will lower the overall
volume, causing the music to sound less
powerful.
Additionally, excessive sound in the low
frequency range that is dicult for the
human ear to hear can cause the level
meter to move all the way to the maximum
in spite of the fact that the actual sound
does not appear to be loud. This can also
make your music sound less powerful.
By using the mastering eect, you can
make the volume of your song more
consistent, and correct the balance of the
low-frequency range.
We recommend that you use the mastering
eect to add the nal touch to your song.
