Hi everyone, hope you can help, so ive mixed my track in cubase, mastered it and ive made it as lowd as i can without the song clipping, but its still not as lowd as it should be, can anyone help with this
Another thing is I'm running Cubase le on a 2.4 processor, and if i run to many vst pluginstogether on the same song my pc slows down and becomes really hard to work on, would a bigger processor help? ive been told not but it makes sense to me that a bigger faster processor would sort out these problems, cheers lee

arrrrrrrrrrrr

hi guys thanks for you thoughts, ive used the limiter and this has helped me great deal, im still having problems running lots of vsts though, my pc is not connected to the net, all my audio is saved to a separate hard drive and my pc has plenty of memory on it, the only thing i use this pc for is cubase and only cubase so i dont know what else i can do, i use 8 to 10 tracks to record drums and once ive compressed / added effects etc on the drums thats all it will let me use before the things slows down, stops playing. Any other ideas, thaanks for your help, lee

I think the OP meant lower. As in "Low ... ride ... er drives a little slower" I think Cubase has a tempo map that can accomplish that.

Codemonkey,

You have been around long enough to know the right answer is "You want it louder? That's what the volume knob on your stereo is for."

But seriously. If by louder, or "lowder" you mean devoid of any dynamics and equal spectral distribution, then a multi band compressor such as reaXcomp from Cockos should do it. Just slap that on the master bus and crank it down.

Well, certainly.
Very easy to adjust volume on the PC.

My mp3 player is hellish though. Usually I don't keep it in an accessible pocket.
It also plays OGG files about 5dB quieter to begin with.

I don't crush anything, but a few extra dB helped a few tracks stay in line with everything else.

Obviously though, an acoustic recording of a ceilidh band isn't going to match up to drum'n'bass...
