Moreover, while on the subject of volume, an engineer ensures that the total amount of records in line with other commercial records of the time.

Finally, mastering service engineers can add data to a physical CD before it is sent to the replication plant. These include ISRC codes for each song, and the UPC code for the record, song titles, record title, and even credits and copyright information.

After all of this information is added to the file, a mastering engineer will make it a DDP file or record a CD replication. This file or a CD will be sent on a CD replication plant, where copies of their records are made to exact specifications that are compatible with the file / CD.
