Just raise it up to when it is slightly in the red. That should give you just the right amount of real volume without the distortions. That's the way to get good volume in Ableton when making tracks.

And stay away from compression. It does just what it says...it compresses the track. And when you've already bought a compressed track...like 320. It's already slightly compressed to get the file sie down to that size.

Does anyone re-eq any of there tracks, before burning them to cd? found a few tracks i bought, that sound really awful on the eq side of things.

Haven't had to do anything that drastic yet. What label was this track that you feel you need to eq from...I'll make sure to stay away from them until they learn to master their tracks properly.

Use a good spectrum anylizer plugin and compare a track that sounds great to the one you want to fix. Use a mastering plugin and eq the shit out of it till it Looks and sounds like the one you want..

Sometimes you just can't fix shitty mastering though. Remember the label you bought that from and avoid their tracks.
