Ok....i have recorded a song and now i'm trying to master it.
I do all the stuff in a computer with software plugins...
Basically the only thing i do during mastering is using a limiter (db audioware limiter) ...
The problem is that when i compare it with other recordings (mostly with dead heart in a dead world by nevermore) it's not that "loud"...
I try boosting 6 dbs with the limiter but that's very strong limiting and you can feel the volume level falling on the kick drum for example....And the edges of the songs wave form is a straight line...
So my question is...can i have the same volume level like dead heart... by using only software plugins???...
And what else should i do except using a limiter during the mastering proccess??....compression? multiband compression?....and what settings should i use???...
Should i use compression/limiting over the whole mix or do you make submixes of drums or guitars and compress individually??...
