What are you using to achieve overall volume?

Forums

I've been looking at a lot of pro mastered stuff, and I notice these guys get some serious level without that trademark L2 distortion.
Not that I expect everyone to be forthcoming as this is regarded as secret in some circles, but how are you guys achieving these kind of levels?

Does the compression and multiband comps play a large role in achieving overall volume for you?

Playing back recordings with Nuendo: Volume question

When I'm adding plugins and previewing, the volume plays at a normal level, but when I go to the main screen, the volume is really low, and I have to keep the left mouse button pressed down to get it to play back loud enough to hear.
I want to playback while recording another track over top. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? :?
