I use Event TR8XL monitors. I leave the volume knobs in the 95% up position. They are connected to an FW1884. The FW has a 'Monitor' level pot which I leave usually in the 50% position. The FW also has a master fader which controls the output from Sonar4. I find that for normal listening levels the master fader needs to be down around the 25-30% position.

hey buddy!
How do i mastering my Songs or Album to the Quality or the Volume Level as Commercial Volume Level?

I'm using Soundtrack Pro...is it posible to do that on this software?

After Mixing,is it the Volume Output to the Higherst Level before Mastering step i take?

I have recorded a drummer with a sometimes heavier foot, ie. the kick is all over the place. how should I level out the kick, compression or limiter, and what kind of ratio, attack and release settings? it is just way too dynamic, I used an old ludwig kick with a D112 into an older Joemeek , good sound just way to dynamic, I don't want to ruin the punch, just a lot less dynamic HELP!

Sorry for a newbie question.

I am considering getting a new sound card, the new creative X-Fi. Under the specification page, it states "Shared line-level analog Line/Microphone input via 6.35 mm (1/4-inch) stereo jack".

ok so i pretty much have the whole idea of recording the drums and everything, but my question is when putting the levels of each drum mic up on the mixer, generaly what are good levels to have everything at .. such as should snare generaly be at a lower volume then the cymbals, kick be louder than the snare.. if anyone can help me out i will greatly appreciate it. thank you in advance :)

greetings,

a question for any veteran mach 5 users:

Hello all,

Im just finishing up mixing an album, and now I'm about to master the album myself ( because I'm low on funds ).

Are there any programs out there that once all the tracks are completed, it will make sure the volume levels for each track are all the same.. just incase some are a bit off.

Hi everyone,I was just wondering what would be the maximum loudness level for pop music you would want to send to commercial radio stations for fm broadcast.A lot of commercial CD's I've been listening to have a loudness level of up to +13 vu and sound great (some don't),I'm sure this would not sound very nice on radio after going through all thier limiters and other processing.So the main poin

I am producing a demo for a local band and have a decent mix for them on CD. I put the disc in and compared it to other bands of the same genre and found the levels were pretty low in comparison. What techniques can I use post-mix to get the levels up? I am new to all of this if you can't tell.

hey guys, i jusy bought the firepod, and it was working great, and then i lost all my levels. all the tracks were armed and i can hear all the audio. but it would not record. the reason it wasnt working was because it said there was no record file, i checked the vst imputs and outputs and everything was ok and the word clock was internal. does anyone know why i dont have my meters now?
