Hi ive been having some problems when burning to c.d. I'd recently noticed a problem when i burned my mix next to a reference mix. the reference mix seemed to be several decibels lower in volume than it was on a CD i had burned from my i tunes. I have been burning my c.d.'s on windows media player. which may turn out to be a laughable error in judgement I'm hoping. It may help me maximize my mixes without having too much of a focus on volume which has been a major concern of mine for some time haha. the few questions i do have are would i be able to fix this problem using a different program such as nero? is nero recomended or are there others that would be prefered. finally will i still get acceptable results burning directly from my c.d. burner in the computer or would it make a significant impact if i were to use say a Tascam externalCD burner? any help would be seriously appreciated. thank you all very much!

If you're looking to have "out" = "in" then use a program that's dedicated to doing that. WaveLab (probably even WaveLab Essentials), CD Architect, Samplitude Master -- Something along those lines. At least you'll know that what you're putting in is what's coming out unless YOU change something.
I feel you on that hidden "help." When DEFAULT really means "Dey fault"
I just wanted to say thank you all very much for the input. I ha
I just wanted to say thank you all very much for the input. I have since bought wavelab and it has made a huge difference in the volume of my mixes. Its really opened doors on how i can mix rather than just focusing on getting things as loud as possible. You all have been very helpful with everything, and i sincerely thank you!
