 Re: cant get my levels up high enough
It sounds like you are trying to ice the cake while still baking it.
Mix your tracks to about -15 dBfs. That equates to about +4dB in the analogue domain. If the faders seem too low, you set the recording levels too high.You may notice the meters are colored green down there.
This may even make it sound better.
Once it's mixed, feel free to just normalise it to -1dBfs or smash it to death with compression / limiting to taste. At least you will have an idea of what it did sound like beforehand.
