Mastering High Resolution Audio Delivery

This book is for musicians, producers, recording and mix engineers, mastering engineers and
computer enthusiasts — anyone who is interested in producing the best-sounding masters
for delivery to iTunes. The inspiration of iTunes Music was Apple Computer’s introduction of its
Mastered for iTunes initiative, which for the first time allows program producers to send high
resolution master files for encoding. By carefully following the guidelines presented in this book,
you can produce far-better-sounding iTunes masters than ever before. These same masters also
yield superior Compact Discs and streaming audio.

Topics covered include...

CD album production vs. iTunes albums
High Resolution audio
Dithering
Distortion (and how to avoid it)
Lossy Coding
Loudness Metering
Sound Check, how it affects our production techniques
Apple’s tools for Mastered for iTunes
“Mastered for iTunes… will be the standard from now on. It is 100% based on solid science, as you will learn
in the chapters of this book.” - Bob Ludwig Gateway Mastering, Portland, ME (from the Foreword)
