Problem with burning to CD

[Rhythmhawk]

Hello all,

This is probably seem like a very 'newbie' kind of situation, but, to be fair, I did search throughout the forum for an answer and a solution - however, no luck....

Here's the situation: I recently purchased the DP-24 that has a CD burner built-in. I've recorded several tracks, following all the procedures and tips from the manual, videos, and the forum, but, when I burn to a CD the play-back volume is very low. I've kept the track and Stereo fader levels at Unity (0), however playing back the CD requires the devices volume (in this case, a car stereo) needs to be turned all the way up. I'm quite sure that the issue is on my end - I'm probably missing a step. Can someone give me a bit of advice, please

Thank you!!

The problem is in the Mastering. Give it more gain to make it louder.

"Gain Staging". Learn It. Know It. Live It.

That goes for pre- AND post-recording scenarios...proper/optimized gain and levels are as important as routing, quality cables, and having hard candy in the studio.
