Hi Alvinmc,
I think the reason my "homemade" BW CDs didn't sound as good as the Centerpointe ones is just that I'm not a preofessional sound engineer.
I used environmental sounds CDs that you can find in any disk store, so it's not the quality of the samples that was a problem. And I did all my mixing in .wav formats, without any compression, so no loss.
I think it's just that the guys at Centerpinte have a BIG experience at making thos CDs, and they know exactly what the right settings (volume levels, reverberation effects, 3D effects, filtering, etc...) to make it as pleasing, relaxing, and therefore effective as possible.
That's why you pay someone to do somehting you are able to do yourself : because he's able to do it much better than you :-)
Cheers,
Erwan
