I have read computer mixing tutorials that say you should never give your daw track fader a db boost but how do you get your final mixdown to be at standard CD level. Is their a standard db output or is it something you do in Mixdown. I am using pro tools by the way. any help would be great _________________ Jeremy

That hot level occurs at the Mastering phase, NOT the Mixdown phase. One way to accomplish this is a brickwall limiter or a volume maximizing compressor plug-in. _________________ Bruce Valeriani - Mix Engineer

That's how they do it. Even out the wave's amplitude, and raise the volume.

so I would first bounce down my session and then import the bounced file into its own session and boost the levels there? _________________ Jeremy

You could insert a compressor/limiter plugin on the master. Or bounce it and make a new session just for mastering. The later is probably the most recommended.
