I am using HomeStudioXL. Does anyone know if there is a way to bring the final mixed sound up to a more CD standard level?

guitarhunny said:Ok, I know that I am very stupid when it comes to this stuff. Could someone explain the function of "Trim". I have been playing with it to bring the level of recording up. Is that what it is for? I have to play with it some more to find an appropriate level where clipping does not take place. Does this make any sense?
Well, plugins is processor/effects in software shape. It's an add on. You can use plugin as an effect in your audio track. Just insert them on the given field on track view.guitarhunny said:My knowledge on the recording end ends about where I am. I know nothing about plugins and nothing about mastering.
Okay, it's a bit tough, but absolutely doable with experience. Don't worry, if you realy pay attention on how you set them propherly, then you may get better sound with pickup. First is to know your guitar's character. Listening to your song, the guitar has typicaly "screeech" sound when recorded. Try struming right in front of the sound hole rather than closer to the bridge. If you have an EQ, then cut -3db ~ -6db around 10kHz. Once again, it takes experience to obtain best result. If you don't have an EQ, then make sure you record it as loud and clean as possible (w/o getting clipped). We can play with EQ on mixing stage later.guitarhunny said:My guitar is plugged into my Fostex MR-8 not miced so I lose some of the realness in my playing.
Do you think we aren't ? That's why we're here...guitarhunny said:I am very low on cash flow so I can only go very slow (which is annoying) with the purchase of new and better ways of doing things.
Go:guitarhunny said:What would be some recommendations for mastering stuff? I don't even know where to start.

I know I can be very picky and quite a perfectionist but When I put the songs on a CD and listen to them the volume levels just seem really low and I want to be able to distribute my CD and have it be something that people will actually listen to. I'm probably just being really picky!
