  RE: Master Audio Effect Rack Defaults ??
  @dpizza The limiter is usually automatically on so you don't blow your ears out or damage your speakers/headphones in case of a very loud noise. If you don't need the compressor, in case you use a different compressor plugin, simply disable it.

  RE: What should volume be set to when finalizing songs?
  @SP.So there are no standards for setting the volume? I’m worried the sound may be too loud or too soft. Is there a range I should stay within so I won’t have those worries? Like maybe anywhere from 60% to 80%?

  RE: What should volume be set to when finalizing songs?
  @dpizza You need to stay under 0db or you'll get distortion and clipping. Everything else is up to you. Using reference tracks to get the volume and loudness to a comparable level is highly recommended. Each genre of music is different. There are

  RE: Sound Force 17
  Thanks Johnebaker, I believe you hit the target. I have always burned all my music on ordinary data CDs because I am not familiar where I can buy a music CD these days. I guess that's why they get hot on me when I play them loud in my vehicle radios.
