Quality control during data handling for mastering

Abstract

This paper brings in focus the quality control issues during data handling in the CD production process. By warning for the problems that can occur at different points in the production chain, many costly, damaging and time-consuming errors can be prevented. Errors can happen anywhere along the line at various points and logistic interfaces. So it is important to identify what can go wrong from the authoring/pre-mastering stage all the way to shipping the final product to the customer.
