Welcome back everyone to Round 2 of Mastering the Mastering Process! Last time we discussed what exactly mastering was and what was involved in the process. While last time we discussed track sequencing, restoration, compression, etc. this time we are going to take things even further down the pipeline.
This time around we are going to look at Limiting and the concept of loudness and getting the album ready for pressing. The second half of this tutorial will require either a Mastering DAW or some other software that will be able to save the right format for CD pressing and add the appropriate meta data to the CD; we will cover what some of those DAWs are.
