Once you have completed your Final Mixes...
there will be some discrepancies in the way your mixes sound in comparison to each other.

In order for these selections to have a unified and qualitative sound,
you would MASTER these files before going to duplication.

Part of the mastering process is simply the mechanical adjustment of the timing, pace, sequence,and spacing between the songs, creating silence between the songs, eliminating unwanted noises such as digital glitches, pops, and fade in/fade out hiss, adjusting the level relationship of one song to another, and setting up track ID 's
in order for cd players to locate the songs on your disc accurately.

The difficult and subjective part of the mastering process is...

...the art of making each of the songs have some type of unified quality to them, shaping their sound to have a similar amounts of low end, high end, and midrange, sonic color, compression and presence,

These adjustments are usually done in a environment where a
High Quality audio path is involved.
The accuracy of the monitoring, amplification, cabling, and editing system play an important part of this process.
