We wanted to share the exciting news that Killing Thursby's new album, "Across The Wires", just came back from the mastering facility! Uh, okay, what does that mean? I'm sure there's a lot of you reading this that don't know what we mean when we say our music's been "mastered". Basically, mastering puts the final polish on your music and optimizes it for playback on the radio, in your car, etc. They apply careful equalization, compression, and volume normalization to make your music sound consistent across the whole album. It's done by a third party facility that uses a fine tuned listening environment, specialized equipment, and a trained engineer to get the best results. Every major album you buy has had this process done. It's a key element in making your music sound 'finished'. So, when we say our music's come back from mastering, we mean it's gone through the process and we've received a gold pressed master CD to use for duplication. We'll have the full album up to listen to soon so you can hear the mastering for yourself!
