Leave silence at beginning and end of your track. They’ll help you streamline the mastering process and also ensure you get your masters back as soon as possible. Following these steps will allow your mastering engineer to do their best work. There are actually 5 steps you should to take before sending your track off to a mastering engineer, but luckily they’re all quite simple, and easy to pull off. I have mastering clients ask me all the time, “what do I need to do to my song before I send it to you?” This is a great question because it’s not necessarily obvious, unless you’re a mastering engineer.
The effects a mastering engineer applies to your track will vary depending on the engineer, and may very well be what cause you to favor one mastering engineer over the other. It’s also become the expectation that a mastering engineer provides a few final enhancements to a track, which mainly include EQ adjustments, as well as the application of color, compression and sometimes other effects as well. With streaming services now dominating the music industry, the digital file that you upload to said services is referred to as the "master file." For vinyl distribution, this means creating a vinyl lacquer master, and back in the day of CDs, this meant making a glass CD master. Unless you borked up your WAV file, your program should be able to import WAVs properly.Mastering is the process of creating a master copy of a song from which all other duplicates of the recording are made. That way you don't have to do ANY re-encoding.Īnd Chavous: I have no idea what program you are using to burn CDs, but please stop using it. But to keep it simple, if you are burning to CD, make sure you are exporting a WAV with 44.1KHz and a bitdepth of 16 bits. Now FL Studio can output in a great many different formats. What the program will do is take the PCM data out of the WAV container, and wrap it in the Redbook Audio container.
But you can't burn WAVs straight onto a CD. Unless its made by some dodgy hack of a programmer or something. So, assuming your WAV file contains 44.1KHz PCM audio, the CD encoding program shouldn't re-encode. If one were to transfer an audio CD bit stream to WAV files and record them onto a CD-R as a data disc (in ISO format), the CD could not be played in a player that was only designed to play audio CDs.
WAV is a data file format for computer use. The commonality is that both audio CDs and WAV files have the audio data encoded in PCM. Audio CDs do not use WAV as their sound format, instead using Red Book audio.
