One Last Tweak Fest
(Friday, 29 February 2008) Written by Not Square With Zero
   I burned a CD this morning at 5:30am.  I listened to it at 12 and lo and b-hole, the volumes are pretty low compared with factory cd's.  So I'm back again, sweaty, tired, haggered, adjusting volumes.  Frustrating that Garage Band doesn't have a peak meter that shows the db output you're getting. How am I supposed to know what the final volume will be?  It's a final spin on a month of recording boot camp.  Jackets are ready at the print shop.  Pretty low res limited run of the first 10.  The higher res jackets won't be worth as much in the global market, cause there'll be 40 of those.  Oh, and I realized this morning that there was ANOTHER SONG!  What happened to that one song?  Snow Fall?  That might be my hidden track...  also unique of the first batch of 10.

I wouldn't focus on making everything as loud as possible because you look a lot of dynamics. I say A/B it against one of your favorite artists and try to have it sound similar.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, I had to abandon my sinking computer and jump on board my friends. He just got it and the only music on it is.....you guessed it, this record o' mine. Otherwise the comparing to other songs on I Tunes is usually my only reference. Without that, well, it's guess work at this point.
