Mike,
I just went back and looked at your original post, and I wanted to comment
on the dB levels.
True, they do say that 0 dB is optimal, but that should be your goal when
recording analog. Once you get a clean recording, without distortion, clipping,
or hiss, you can start upping the dB levels in the master. If you're recording
all digital, with no samples, you could theoretically record as high as you
want and set your playback levels back to 0 dB. Remember that the 0 dB standard
is an analog standard.
Also, for CDs nowadays, I think they're bumping up the levels to get
attention. That's why TV commercials are so much louder than the programs: so
you can hear clearly from the bathroom.
Sincerely, Andy

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.

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.
