    I am not sure what your question is but I'll try to answer.

    The music sounds good.

    The stats of a 24 bit wave file export from the video are:

                                           Left           Right
    Min Sample Value:        -25915.03    -32317.48
    Max Sample Value:        26412.31     32080.45
    Peak Amplitude:             -1.84 dB          -.1 dB
    Possibly Clipped:                  0                0
    DC Offset:                    -.272           -.279
    Minimum RMS Power:        -60 dB    -53.23 dB
    Maximum RMS Power:    -9.03 dB      -8.14 dB
    Average RMS Power:      -19.5 dB      -18.6 dB
    Total RMS Power:          -17.6 dB     -16.87 dB
    Actual Bit Depth:              24 Bits    24 Bits

    Using RMS Window of 50 ms


    Which indicates that it is a nice dynamic mix. You an certainly pump it up and compress it more to make it seem louder... if that is what you want.

    If you decide to do that you may consider doing it as a separate process. You can do that yourself or have someone experienced with that process do it for you.

    You may also choose to simply remix the song and send it out of SONAR with higher levels and more compression. Some people master their mix and just send it out of SONAR as a finished project.

    It really comes down to what process you are comfortable with. I'd say try them all and learn to use each process when it's the best process for any particular song.

    It's my opinion that your song sounds good as is, but I'll bet I'd like it louder too.

    :-)


    Good luck.


    best regards,
    mike

    Your link has typoes in it. I think this is what you intended:

    SONAR has everything you need to get all the loudness you want. The only thing a mastering studio has that would really make a difference is an experienced mastering engineer.   

    Basically, it's a matter of using compression and limiting to get the RMS signal strength up without clipping the peaks. A big part of this is having frequencies of all parts equalized so that the entire spectrum is represented, and no one area has so much power that it causes clipping to occur before the other areas have been raised to the point where they are contributing to the perceived loudness.

    It's immediately apparent that your mix is very weak in the bass and low midrange areas, which is making it sound thin and weak, as well as being inappropriate for the genre. To my ear, fixing this will require a change in instrumentation/sample choice as well as EQ.

    Very tricky, Mike. How'd you do that?

    i did that for fun im not in this genre

    but i understand it need eq and a louder sample loop

    or a loop with level or volume and compress

    im thinkin of pass the loop thought  amplitube have a master volume

    I grabbed a .mp4 of the movie and used Quicktime Pro to extract the audio, which was AAC. Then I exported it from QTpro as a .wav file which I listened to in Adobe Audition before running an Amplitude Analysis. Audition lets you copy the results to clipboard and I sometimes use that function to build a spreadsheet when I'm assembling a collection of songs.

    This is the part I was wondering about.

    Groovy. Thanks for the info. I have occasionally wanted to do this, but didn't take the time to research what tool to use.
