Hi. I've been tasked with producing a few MP3's for live use from MIDI files.

I'm having some trouble setting their relative levels correct.
Any ideas on how to do that best?

I have put in a limiter with ("Bass" preset for Bass and "Gentle limit" for the EZdrummer track)
I've tried to have each track peack a -3dB in the mix. I've put a (Pro Tools) Maxim mastering limiter in the main bus on each project, and set it to the "CD mastering" preset.

Still, some tracks appears to have more energy, especially in the bass/bassdrum region.

An analog SPL meter in front of the PA would enable me to measure (and re-level) each track, but I don't have one.

A VST or RTAS SPL meter with some kind plotting of levels (historically) would do nicely? I don't need to calibrate it really; the tracks just needs to work with eachother.

Suggestions appreciated :-)
