Like I said, I am fully mastering these myself. They are as loud as a lot of things, but not the pop music that it is similar to. I want a loud and GREAT sounding mix of course! I'm not talking about more aggressive compression and limiting because I don't think that's the problem and that would...

I've been thinking about getting that book actually, guess it's time for that! People that do this for a living probably couldn't learn it through the internet when they started, and I'm guessing they also didn't have the capable tools that I have. I'm not kidding myself and my recordings hold...
