strange db -loudness problem
      23/10/06 10:55 AM
Hello guys,

I have strange problem. I use Cubase sx3. When i make an audio mixdown of a song I save it as a 24 bit wav file.
I then open it in Wavelab 5 to do my final mastering.

I use a limiter (Steinberg L2) and make sure the master fader doesn't exceed 0 db. The rms levels are also good. It's loud but there's no clipping or anything. When i render the track to a final product everything is fine and it sounds good on my pc.

Now you'll think : Where's the problem?

When i Burn it to a cd and play it on my home stereo or car stereo it sound so soft. I have to open up the volume a lot to play the song loud.

I brought the song to my friends studio and when he opens the tracks in Wavelab all levels are a lot lower than on my pc. I have an m-audio delta 66 soundcard and have all my outs set at maximum.

Does anybody know what the problem could be? Thanks a lot
