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?

Is it the overall volume? Or is it some sounds (bass drum, guitar, etc.) are
uneven?
If its over all then you need a two track software that has some sort of
automation so you can change the level at any given point on the time line.
If just the bass drum is uneven (or any other single instrument) then you may
need to start all over from tracking.

Here's my trick for beginners -

After you mix, set all mixed song levels so the vocal is the same
percieved volume if you jump from the middle of one cut to the next,
despite the underlying mix not being consistent.

THEN do your overall compression / EQ / Maximize / whatever damage you
choose to the master. It's a good place to start. The voice is always
the tether, my son. Your perception will follow suit.

Your assumption about all cuts being the same volume is not the
question you should be asking, ESPECIALLY if you have no experience
mastering.

Good Luck.
