mastering is a whole other trade then mixing, i suggest you get your shit mastered by someone who has experience with it. Unless u wanna learn, but ofcourse this will be a looong proces

That sticky doesn't really address any specific gear stuff, to be fair. It's really just a mixing thread, tbh. But @ the OP - there's a lot of threads on what stuff you can use for the job.
When it comes to creating a CD, most apps will burn a CD from wave files but then you have CD-text, ISRC, PQ codes, EAN etc etc which you would need more specialist stuff for, if you want them included (royalties!).

Hi macc, I been reading up on the pq coding.
I've got waveburner and it can do the burn-disk-at-once-mode-thing (can't remember the name)
was wondering if the program can be used to create full red-book standard disks?
really happy with it soo far

I dunno - PC man here - but I do know quite a few people use it
I think there was a bug though, some files getting truncated to 15 bits when burning, or something like that. Search the gearslutz mastering board
