Who makes Boost 11?

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. ------ Original Message ----- From: Stacy Blackwell To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 11:23 PM 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. Check it out.
