I find it surprising that a free program like audacity has vastly superior export-capabilities than garageband :/.
i use sound forge to do roughly the same thing. i export from sonar and double check/master in sound forge. most any brick wall limiter will work. glad to see that you have found a pseudo solution for the meantime. i really would not recommend a normalizer as it can raise your noise floor, but eq is a must. it'll help glue your mixes. a decent multiband compressor will do you more good for controlling dominant frequecies and keep your mix sounding balanced.

Thanks for all the help, I'm gonna use this setup for awhile, then once I feel I've utilized it to it's maximum potential, look into buying a better recording program such as Logic Pro(or something else that works with Mac.)

No, no no. I asked, "What's a computer mic?" I googled it and nothing came up.

Re: Whats next?


Well, I spent some time with my drum machine and Pod X3 last night and got some pretty decent results!

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...?bandID=973611

Its not perfect by any means, but it doesn't sound pathetically weak even when I compare it to the other songs on my computer. Using a real-drum track would probably help the sound a lot too, but I think the guitar/bass sounds pretty good.

Another summit has been reached!
