Always have been little confused on how to achieve the same loudness of a commercial CD. I know of the tools involved in doing so, but where my problem lies is how much is too much, when do you know to stop maximizing/compressing/raising levels bla bla bla?
Here is my example:
Im mixing some R&B for some dude.......it sounds cool and now its time to bring it up a notch to that same output level that other commercial cd's are at. The mix doesn't clip and it sounds good from my monitors. When I bounce to disc (im using PT's) burn a CD and then listen to it on other systems its either not as loud or distorted like a mo fo. So I guess how do you know where the monitor output should be relative to what is actually being outputed??? If these were proper, then my monitors would have sounded like what the other systems do on the CD....right?..........ga help me lol
