I recently bought a Korg 32xd and have recorded a song and burned it to CD. I think it sounds very good, but is not as loud as commercially produced and mastered CDs. I can see a problem up the road when I put these songs together for a project album and the tracks will all be too quiet. Is there a computer program that anyone knows of that will allow me to import each song into it, fix volume levels to be consistent, and then in turn reburn for a final copy. Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Justin

Wavelab or CD Architect are pretty good for "quick & dirty" mastering. I would imagine the Korg would have a selection of basic tools also, no?

The usual disclaimer - Keep in mind that there's a lot more to "loud" than smashing it into a computer. And I don't have time to even begin on the "never master your own mixes" sermon (I don't ever master my own mixes unless they're just for preproduction runs).

Massive Mastering,
Thanks for the info. Yeah the Korg has some "Mastering Effects" that do sound good, but I don't honestly believe that they are any substitute for a real mastering job. I am just trying to even out volume levels at this point. Thanks again. I will try to find the programs you mentioned.
