I think the most common way is to render down your entire mix with nothing on the Master FX chain, then bring that rendered mix into a new session and master from there.
ok...cool
im sending these tracks to a studio over the net tomorrow...ill let them worry about the mastering, etc. i just thought you could "bus" all the tracks to the master and have control over them that way.
either way, i followed your suggestion and brought everything down -10db. solved the problem. thanks man \m/
the only thing that sucks now it the cluster of tracks kinda lost their integrity...i guess i can just play around with the levels until i get it back?

try turning your monitors up 1st and listen ... does it sound the same as you remember at a higher volume? If so, the change is only perceived because at the lower volume you're probably just hearing different frequencies poking out in spots that were masked or smoothed over by the increased volume you originally had
