Achieving the ideal volume and loudness for an audio CD (Mastering)
Here’s how you can apply a final mastering effect (the Mastering Tool Kit) to your mixdown, in order to produce
a finished song. The Mastering Tool Kit is an effect that separately processes the high, mid, and low-frequency
regions to make the volume more consistent. This will make the entire song sound louder and more “finished,”
so that it can be made into a CD at an optimal volume level.
