Can’t I just skip the mastering?

While it’s possible to skip the mastering stage, it’s not a good idea. Chances are that your CD will not have the polish, presence, and sheen of a major label recording. Think of it this way: when you’ve put countless hours and seemingly dollars into your project, do you want to settle for second rate?

A professionally mastered CD will give you personal satisfaction and help you avoid the “local CD sound”. Mastering can make your project stand among the best.
