Depending on the kind of music you recorded and how similar the songs are,
you might be able to get away with simply normalizing the songs to 0 dB.

However, if the songs are so dynamically different that the peaks don't
correlate to the core volume in the same proportion then they will still not
have the same core volume despite normalization. If this is the case,
you'll need to adjust the volume in each song manually.

If you can't do this to your satisfaction then try using a plugin that shows
you a histogram of the songs. The histogram will show you the core volume
and the dynamic range of the music. Then you would adjust the gain
manually for each song until the core volumes are the same.

Cool Edit Pro and Steinberg Wavelab are good software for doing this kind of
work. The Izotope Ozone plugin is an excellent mastering tool which has
histograms built in. I'm sure there are also free plugins that have
histograms.

I've recorded a few tracks for a local band and the CD of the tracks has
me reaching for the volume knob between tracks. They're all at different
volume levels. I recorded the tracks with Logic (on a mac G4) and burn the
CD with iTunes.

I recognise that iTunes is possibly not the best software package for this
job and someone recommended a program called DSP Quattro.

Can anyone share their experiences and help me find a solution to the
question: how do I make all the tracks on a burnt CD the same volume?

Cheers
