It's a live mix from this weekend, 3+ hours long. Pretty much 90 % classic prog from the early 2000s, b2b with Danceteria's Mr A.
The sound levels are all over the place and I can't fix it with my poor skills...

Re: I need help mastering a mix...
Have you tried the Normalizer utility?
Re: I need help mastering a mix...
Yeah, put it through that on Sound Forge but I'm afraid this needs a bit more compressing...

Looking forward to hearing it when it's ready, really enjoyed the last mix I downloaded from you (one with 'Dancing in Outer Space' at the start)
Re: I need help mastering a mix...
I don't understand the problem. you need compression to the whole mix? have you tried normalizing by RMS (instead of normalize to peak)? that tool works nice on soundforge. try to RMS level: -16dB. If you want louder, decrease the number, try not to break the sound.

Sony Acid Pro is what I have been using for years

Cheers, I'll give this a try.

^That's all you really need.
Re: I need help mastering a mix...
Drop it into any DAW and just manually write the automation track for volume to fix any problems. Even though the music in your set probably isn't super brick-wall limited like just about every track today, it's probably safer to stay away from compressors and limiters. Depending on the gear you were using, some very subtle and broad EQing can help, especially if you were doing it all analogue.
