After mixing you will need to put all the songs in the correct order and decide how much space should go in between them. This is called "pacing" the album .
Sometimes songs will need an internal edit in order to reach a particular target length or shorten an intro. You can even combine portions of different mixes and takes to create a composite master performance.
You can also change the relative loudnesses of the songs individually, or tweak the tonal balance (EQ) so each cut flows smoothly into the next. All of these things are part of the process known as "mastering" and at Group Effort are done with our The amazing Waves Plug-ins and computer based digital editing system which can do some absolutely amazing things that were just plain impossible not too long ago!

CD Recording

Since about 2003, virtually every computer made now has the capability to record CDs, usually at over 50 times faster than it would take to actually play it. . This is a far cry from when we started making CD masters in the mid 1990s and burning was at 1x!!! We use some very cool software called Toast and Jam (cute huh?). With these programs and it's cousin, Peak, we have complete CD mastering capability. Take a more in-depth look at this exciting new technology.
