So if I"m understanding it right, it's not actully less in volume it's just the way Real Band plays the stereo file. I had already mixed down the tracks and ran it through a mastering plugin. I did the vocals separately in the same way. Then I just merged the two tracks.



?

That's really not Mastering at that point. All tracks *should* be mixed down together, then Mastering takes place on that one stereo mixdown.

I've never mixed down two different files "mastered" separately and then attempted to combine the two. Not sure how that would work. Likely phase cancellations between the two can lead to less amplitude.

Now that I'v done this I want to make a small demo cd. Can I burn the wave files to a cd so someone can hear them on a cd player or do I have to turn them into mp3s. And is there a good program to do this. I have Nero which I have heard is decent.



Stay with wav file format and burn to CD using Nero. It won't be wav file format once that happens, it will be in CD audio format.
