Hey,
Here's a newb question for you. My band has purchased a bunch of recording equipment and have produced some clean tracks that sound good mixed down. The only problem is that when they are transfered to CD, they are very quiet and I have been normalizing them just to get 'em to CD volume. I've noticed that this can really affect the clarity of the tracks, they are starting to sound washed out and muddy.
We are using a AW4416 to mix and master, and then I've been normalizing the tracks on the computer. There are compressors, limiters, EQ's and such that are built into the AW that help a bit, but everything is still quiet. What is the best way to bring CD's up to volume without affecting their quality?
Any help or insight into the process would be appreciated.
Thanks
