Hey this is my first post (I think?!). I've been looking at these boards for a while and get most of my answers by just reading, but I had a quick question. My finished tracks just aren't loud enough, compared to commercial cds. After my mix (which I try to make as loud as possible) I put the track into wavelab for mastering. I used the Ultramaximizer, but it only brings the volume up a little before it starts clipping and crackling. Are there any tricks to bring up the volume? What db should I be aiming for? I use flstudio 5 for mixing and wavelab for mastering.
