i m using m audio projekt mix cubase sx,wavelab,propellerhead reason. but on the end cd it s not so loud like some original CDs.I try with t-racks,izotope ozone and voxengo elephant in wavelab to make my CDs louder but they are still not so loud :confused:
 
He already is.

The simple truth is that most recordings just don't have the potential to be as loud as many commercial CD's that have huge budgets, the best gear, the best crew of people on the job working in the best rooms, etc. Every step is a carefully calculated decision working toward the end product. Experience is key.

I'm not saying "no you can't do it" - I'm not saying not to try - I'm just saying that it's not as easy as throwing a compressor across a mix. That'll get you "loud" - But if you can stand listening to it when it's done - That's the trick.
 
i have small budget any sugestion about some good compressor there is so much cheap gear on market it s hard to find good stuff for good price i m also limited because i m living in Croatia (not EU) here, there is no so good choise and prices are also bigest
 
There should be a Compressor Plugin in your recording software....

You can also Raise the Volume of each Recorded Track when Mixing down so you can get the Loudness that you want.....

I record and Micdown useing "Mackie Traction v2.1" and I can get the Volume of the Mixed down Song to be as Loud as Most Retail CD"s but I also make sure I record each Track at a Loud Volume just under Clipping level and then adjust the Volume of each track durring mixdown.....

Cheers

PS: there are also "Loudness" Plugins/Filters in Many recording softwares that might help....
 
The Kjaerhus Audio master limiter is a decent free loudification tool (assuming your setup can accommodate vst plugs). It's not a magic trick (bearing in mind what Massive has said) but it might help a bit:

I just booked a holiday in Dubrovnik in June, I hear Croatia is beautiful.

I own a fair few bucks worth of software too, and I'm pretty sure thats why my remaining budget is now quite small. :p
