Make sure it was mastered to leave enough headroom for the mathematical errors & clipping that happens when converting to an MP3

I recently got a track mastered in wav, I added some sound effects at the start, threw a limiter at 0 on it and I hear some noticeable distortion toward the end of the song. I think I read -0.3 db is the safety recommendation for mp3 conversion

You should not be adding anything to a mastered track.

That's what I've read as well. Projects that are to be converted to MP3 need more headroom.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

-0.3 to -0.6 is a good range. It just depends on the quality of the converter you have.

Thanks at all!!!!for CJ i do your same work....this is a conversion problems not clip prob,the track is mastered in our pro studio with RMS and Level in according with EBU R128 tech spec.I have send an email to Cake tech support couse i think that is an integration encoder bug (i have this prob only at 320kbps).
