There are several editions of CD mastering software on the market today. Many of these programs are a good purchase for recording artists who adhere to the “do it yourself” philosophy. CD mastering software is also well-suited for novice recording artists who have a limited budget. Software programs are available for most major platforms, including Microsoft, Apple, and Linux. These software programs range in price from around $75 to over two thousand dollars for packs of high-end software. The more expensive programs have many more features, but they are also very complicated and may confuse users.

Many programs that are included with most computers, such as Real Player and MusicMatch offer some types of mastering services. Both of these programs allow users to burn CDs and choose the order of the songs. There are add-ons to these programs that let people equalize the volume of the tracks on the CD and even add a delay between the songs as needed.

Some CD mastering software gives users almost as many options as the professional CD mastering facilities. A major advantage of CD mastering software is its easy incorporation with home recording software like Pro Tools and other similar programs. Most CD mastering software programs support music 16-, 24- and 32- bit music files.

These CD mastering software programs can perform countless functions. Many are designed to have the same “drag and drop” operation as Pro Tools and other recording and editing software. Aside from traditional mastering functions like song sequencing, fades, and setting time between songs, some software allows users to add effects such as reverb and echo. Most programs have features that can remove excess noise from tracks as well. Many high-end software programs can produce masters that sound as good as those made in expensive facilities.

CD mastering software programs can provide a great cost-effective way to master a CD. Many programs have recording features that go along with the mastering programs. CD mastering software is perfect for independent recording artists and artists who want to have control over all aspects of the production.
