hey there what you need to do is the following. There is a plug in called
Boost11
you need to insert this as your master bus, and route all of your tracks to
this. In the boost11 plugin you will find several presets which you can adjust
to make sure that your mix sounds great. This is just one option you could do,
the other is to normalize your mix by running it through sound forge. However
the boost11 plugin does work well for most mixes. But in the long run you
might be better off getting Soundforge to complete your final mixes. Its not
an expensive program, and is definatly worth it.

Subject: [ddots-l] 0 dB or higher?
Hello again. My new question is that I have maxed the outputs of a project
until it sounded balanced. I pushed everything to the 0 dB output level. I
thought the mix was good, but when compared to a regular CD, the overall volume
was a lot lower. To match the volume, I had to max out some buses to 6 dB. I
shouldn't have to do this, should I? I thought 0 dB was where the volume
should be for a quality recording. Are my original recording levels too low?
I don't think they were that far below 0 dB. My MP3 conversion was also
quieter in volume. Any suggestions? S.B.
