mastered... IE ripped files from finished CDs. The ear is still the best
tool
for this one.


Also remember the old carpenters rule to measure them all against a single
piece (song). If you balance each song to the next sequentially and are off
even a single dB, on a 10-song CD that's 10dB difference between the opening
and closing song. Burning a CD and putting it in shuffle play is a good way
to see if any songs "jump out" from the rest. It's also a great way to find
some sequences you may not have thought of.
