Sean are you talking about mastering after you've exported your tracks into
a waive file in sonar.  If so, what do you use, soundforge?  JOhn Fioravanti

hello, i find that it is better to mix, at lower levels and bump every thing
up durring mastering.  with the unrelyable meaders in sonar so i know i'm
not clipping.  there are lots of plug ins to bump the volume up durring
mastering and you dont hav to worry about a track clipping.

  This is happening because some of your tracks that are feeding your master
are too high.  Always keep in mind that peak levels are cumulative.  When
you start stacking up a lot of tracks, even though individually their levels
might be all right, together they will mount up.  Many times I find myself
going through all my audio tracks and just dropping each one down by around
5 db or so.  The name of the game when mixing is head room, it will go a
long way toward giving your mixes the space they need.

    Hi:
    I need to mix down audio that is going to the master buss, the master
bus is set at a output level of -6.0 Db. When I mix the audio down, the
audio level comes out at -0.2 Db. Why is this? Can somebody tell me how to
mix the audio down keeping the output level the same.
    I am using sonar 4 producer.
    Cheers
    Sean.
