You should record through a "record out" on your mixer. This channel is not affected by changes you make to the master volume. You shouldn't be changing the master volume during your mixes anyway.

If your volume is all over the place, it's more of a matter of your mixing than anything. There are a ton of threads of EQ-ing. Read these to get some ideas on transitioning individual ranges to keep the overall volume fairly constant. Granted, it will never be perfect, but close enough.

I do use the 'record-out' outputs on my mixer as well as eq during transitions. (for example i lower the bass/mid/treble as i'm fading in the track, and then slowly transfer each frequency once the channel fader is all the way up)

However, I think the main problem is the volume of the tracks themselves. Different tracks are outputted at different volumes, which I attempted to fix via adjusting the gain, yet still its fairly off.

But I will look into more EQing threads to see if that helps...
Thanks.

the problem might be the tracks themselves if you're using mostly mp3s to dj. i've noticed that some mp3s i've bought haven't been mastered to 0dB before the mp3 compression. and the mp3 compression causes the peaks of the waveform to "extend" kind of. so it'll actually seem that the track would be peaking at 0dB even though there's no audible sounds there. i've posted a topic on this and other things i've found annoying about the mastering of some tracks. the topic was called "mastering of individual tracks" or something like that.

eqing is the most annoying part of mixing im guessing ur just not getting the eqs right.

you are correct about the volume of the tracks being different. there are a zillion master houses around the globe, and then there are others who are too cheap to master their stuff to begin with. -so there will always be a difference in level between tracks.

it doesn't end there either... every track is mixed differently... some songs the kick is all up in your face, other songs seem mid-range heavy and so on. in the end, it's up to you to match everything up w/the tools you have. -gains, faders, and eq.

i think you need more practice/experience in matching your levels when you mix.

if you're using cubase, you can always squash your mix w/a compressor, and even out the volume that way. hehehe =-)
