Wookiee Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 What was the pre burn level ? What did you use to burn the CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Balich Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 sorry i used the "BURN CD" option under "UTILITIES" in Band Lab Cakewalk. I'm not understanding "PRE-BURN VOLUME. " Do you mean was the playback adequate volume? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 What level was the playback in CbB? Do you have LUFS & true peak figures? In dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Balich Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 no. do you mean the peak levels shown on meters during playback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Cat Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Here is 3 essential tools for basic mastering. They are free. I watched this video the other day and that's where I found the Loud Max. It's amazing but don't overdo it. https://loudmax.blogspot.com/ https://www.voxengo.com/product/span/video/ https://youlean.co/youlean-loudness-meter/ Edited December 17, 2021 by Jack Cat add link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes what is the Level during Play back. Can I suggest you download Youlean's Free level Metering tool it will tell you what your LUFS level is and your True Peak level You should be aiming at a true Peek of between -1dB and -0.3 dB for CD burns Your LUFS is a little subjective I find -14dB LUFS is find you might prefer -9dB LUFS or -6dB LUFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the threshold does depend on where the song is going. CD's are often pushed right to 0 but that's not a good idea if your converting to a MP3. And all the on line delivery formats are a bit different but -14 LUFS seems standard. Been playing with the combo of the Loud max and the You Lean as in Cactus Video and wow, this is perfect. I've been fighting this for years. I was just using a Compressor on the master, not a brickwall. I don't think Cakewalk has a brickwall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 @Jack Cat historically it had the Pro Channel Brickwall limiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see one there now? Unless you mean the CA-2A which is what I have been using on my Master bus. But it seemed to let a lot of peaks get by.

As Bristol_Jonesy notes CA-2A is a compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
