Hello there
I have the usual band-trying-to-make-a-demo-sound-problem... We have recorded to 1/2" tape (16 tracks). It sounds pretty decent when listened to through the monitors - but as I burn it to the cd, it's just annoyingly thin and quiet.
How do I get the levels right?
I do have a few software-plugins at hands - a multiband compressor, limiter, full-parametric equalizer. I played around with them, but it wouldn't help very much. Which order and settings (compressor/limiter) would you suggest?
Does it matter whether I burn it from within the mastering pogram or I let it mix the song to a .WAV and then burn it from there?
Thanks a lot for any hints....
