I would add that getting your CD professionally mastered is a step often people overlook, but one that can really help make your music sound more like what you buy. Here are things you can do to prepare for the session whether you can be present at the mastering, or not. 1) Bring along / send some music that has similar instrumentation / vibe as yours and that you like a lot - that helps point things in the right direction. 2) Talk to the mastering engineer about what you like and don't like in general about some recordings - that helps establish your goals and the communication you need to have. 3) Point out specific passages in your music that you want the mastering engineer to be aware of or that you want him/her to treat - that helps you get the engineer focused on what you want him/her to focus on 4) Don't be afraid to ask questions - that gets you the right to say "NO" to something! :-) Any good mastering studio will allow you to take something home / receive something in the mail and then ask for changes as part of the price. Here's an article about a mastering studio I use, and that I highly recommend. http://www.peerlessmastering.com/JeffLipton_TapeOpInterview.pdf And here's just a good article on mastering http://www.musicbizacademy.com/articles/gman_mastering.htm Good luck!
