newbie mastering question

O.K., I kinda have the hang of mixing (at leat I understand the principles of it) and I get pretty decent mixes. But now I need to learn how do mastering, but other than making my CDs louder and having that punch that commercial CDs have, I'm not even sure what I should be really be looking for, what I should be useing, the whole thing. Is there any online tutorials I should check out?

Mastering in the UK

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced mastering studios in the uk.
I've just finished a track and before sending it out to club dj's i'd like to get it mastered.
Altho i appreciate some mastering studios charge a lot,i'm guessing most of there clients are from record companies that can afford this kind of budget.

ROMP Mastering Chains

Hey All,

I just finished working on the ROMP tune and I thought
I'd start a thread on the Gear/Procedures that
each engineer used to complete the project...

Unfortunately, since I don't use a DAW,
I couldn't really take advantage of the 24bit mixes
(too bad there wasn't a CD24 mix for the Masterlink users)...

Any tips or advice is welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thank you all, Jeremy Whaley. .
