Thanks mate, this is the proper and professional way to master an audio track for loudness. Worked great for me. Anyone curious, I had to repeat the process about 5 times and got to the sweet spot.

I made a Barbie Girl music video but I want to make it 10db louder without distortion. How do I do that?

The compressor makes my music sound weird. I'm looking for a way to reduce the gain of the peaks, so I can amplify the entire song and not lose dynamic range. I have been doing that manually, but I was hoping there was a tool for it, so it takes less time.
