I have had great success in mixing over time but now I am diving into mastering. I havn't had time to read up on it and I could use some pointers. Im under the impression that mastering is done as a finishing touch to a complete CD of mixes and not to each song individually ??? Is this correct ?
I have a collection of 15 finished songs. I did a bounce of all songs down to 1 track. I then imported the track to T-racks and also sound forge for 2 different samples. I applied levelers, compression, & other effects to my liking and created a master which I reviewed on several media playing devices. Sounded great only the CD players will only recognize the one track.
Which leads me back to my first question, Do you master each song or as a whole. It seems only logical to master as a whole so you can level all your songs to the same range. Give them all the same feel....right ?
What might I be doing right or wrong ?
Is there a KISS method or basic flight plan to follow ?
Just looking for some quick pointers on this subject, not a book.
Although I know mastering is not a simple task and will take many years of experimentation I would just like to get the basics straight to get started in the right direction.
