  2. Audio mastering is a unique way of balancing each individual song against the others in level and sound to create a coherent, satisfying whole. mercurymastering.com

  3. EQUALIZATION Equalization of each track should be done right before anything else will work. Set the right level, adjust the EQ and repeat the process until you are happy with the results. mercurymastering.com

  4. MATCH VOCAL LEVELS Balancing the vocals is the great rule of thumb! If you can get the vocals or each tune to sound as they are in the same ballpark, then everything around them will work fine. In places where you don't have a vocal to listen to, pick the main melodic element instead. mercurymastering.com

  5. DYNAMIC COMPRESSION Dynamic compression is the crucial part of audio mastering because most people also want to lift the overall level to be closer to commercial releases. But, don't be tempted to over-cook it or don’t let your CD be a victim in the loudness wars. mercurymastering.com

  6. GOOD GAPS Remember, if the gaps in the track are too short, the album can feel rushed and exhausting. Also, if the gap is too long, the listener can be distracted form the flow of songs wondering where the next tune is. So, make the gap equal to two bars of the out-going song for a positive result. mercurymastering.com
