We should apologize to the original poster, who was asking about setting the levels of songs, a major function of mastering. This question is different. Eddie, you should probably start a new thread.

We actually just had a long thread about problems burning MP3s to CD. That wasn't you, was it? I recall I could not get the answers I needed to help diagnose the problem. With a sample rate of 320, you should be getting very good sound. Can you tell us, what program is creating your MP3s?

I'm not clear on the signal path you describe. Are you possibly sending the signal through the 31 band equalizer twice? Does your sound card have its own EQ (like the old Creative cards did)?
