hello, i find that it is better to mix, at lower levels and bump every thing up
durring mastering. with the unrelyable meaders in sonar so i know i'm not
clipping. there are lots of plug ins to bump the volume up durring mastering
and you dont hav to worry about a track clipping.

This is happening because some of your tracks that are feeding your master
are too high. Always keep in mind that peak levels are cumulative. When you
start stacking up a lot of tracks, even though individually their levels might
be all right, together they will mount up. Many times I find myself going
through all my audio tracks and just dropping each one down by around 5 db or
so. The name of the game when mixing is head room, it will go a long way
toward giving your mixes the space they need.

Hi:
I need to mix down audio that is going to the master buss, the master bus
is set at a output level of -6.0 Db. When I mix the audio down, the audio level
comes out at -0.2 Db. Why is this? Can somebody tell me how to mix the audio
down keeping the output level the same.
I am using sonar 4 producer.
Cheers
Sean.
