Hi everyone,

I'm sure youve heard this topic mulled over and over to pieces. I have a few questions, though. I have recorded bands and sounds for over 6 years and noticed that on CD's i listen to, the "loudness" and "presence" of music are so much more significant, when compared to music I have recorded and tried to compress, hard limit... pretty much anything I do, it gets it almost as loud, but the problem is, is that i record in cool edit, say, a song that I want to match from a professional cd, and the waveform is SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER, just by looking at it by eye. Are there methods im missing out on? I know theres mastering but still the waveform is so much smaller, yet so much more effective. Are there methods of making sure the EQ's are balanced so much to the point that you really can maybe use a statistical frequency graph or what? Or should I be using the multiband compressor setup? Please someone help me out :)

Thanks
Ron Cavagnaro
