I want to make my CD like professionally, until the finishing touch, with original songs and stuff. What steps do they go through? can you name them and make details please. and how do the recording companies put the CD out to the public so that people could buy them?? thank you. "
You're asking MASSIVE questions, but very good ones. Fortunately for all of us there are entire books on the subject. I recommend that you visit the library and check out some titles like All You Need to Know About the Music Business by Donald S. Passman & Randy Glass .
My own personal advice is that you start small. If you're making this CD for school, concentrate on that. The simple process of completing a recording project will keep your hands, feet, mind, imagination and voice full. Meet your school deadline, educate yourself about the mechanics of the music business, and then roll full-speed towards the glorious horizon.
Hope this helps,
