HINT:
A different ISRC should be assigned to each release of your song.
As an example:
if you release the same song in 3 different formats such as a CD, a DVD and an MP3 for your web site, that one song should be assigned at least three different ISRCs.

What is Mastering?

In brief, mastering is the preparation of the mixes you have prepared (either in stereo or multi-channel) for distribution as a CD, MP3 or DVD.

The mastering process starts with a critical listening pass through your music, then tracks are laid out in the sequence you provide to us. Next, the fade-in and fade-out of each song is carefully addressed and the timing between each song gets decided. Finally, the track IDs or PQ codes get assigned to each song.

The BitFarm uses SonicStudio Soundblade software for our mastering. Two out of 3 Grammy award winning CDs are mastered on Sonic Studio digital audio workstations. We trust their transparency and you should too.

Speaking of code, mastering also involves the assignment of an International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) to each track. ISRCs are the digital fingerprint for each song you create. The BitFarm is a registered ISRC licensee, so creating that meta-data is a breeze.
