. That being said, do you have any tips for getting a louder recorded volume the first time? Perhaps they needed a compressor in the system at the beginning?? And/or an amplifier of some sort??

I use compression on most tracks going in. I can't remember a vocal I didn't compress. I compress bass pretty hard. I sometimes compress electric guitars, but that's usually a tonal thing.
In the end, the final mix should be pretty much loud enough so that you don't have to compress too hard after the fact.

The problem is not so much in amplitute, but in dynamic range. You have to really kill the dynamic range to make the music loud.
For tips, check the link I posted above. I've several articles on the subject.
