I like to put the music to where its covering jaws. I export to soundforge then I use the mastering limiter from isotope to bring it up to where I want it to be, but sometimes with this if I'm not careful I can hear where it sounds a little over compressed. I whish I could get it to export at the desired level from the beginning. May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

If not, look for an output control and turn that up a bit. Chris PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
