volume and pops

[Its alright ma]

Hey I got another problem over here - ive got a song that's lower in volume than the other 10 and when i put into cool edit to try to adjust the volume, i get these pops in the song from it peaking too much i suppose ...
Ive tried to mix it at a higher volume - ive been at this since 6am and its 11:32 now - i need somebody's help thanks

Yeah sounds like it's probably clipping. You probably need to add a compressor limiter to squash it down some so you can raise the overall level (tame the peaks a bit).

yea it helps alot thanks - only now the bass is huge - ive never used the limiter on cool edit before how do i lose the bass? you know not lose it - its just too much

Can you EQ it out? Best to do at the track level. You might go back and try adding some compression with makeup gain to your individual tracks. Apply EQ to any track that gets boomy.
