Using mastering compression

You can choose between a single band and a multi-band type of
compressor.
Multi-band compressors allow independent settings for the low,
mid and high frequency ranges, so you can adjust the overall
volume balance. By using compression, you can also reduce
unwanted peaks and increase the overall gain in order to raise
the volume, creating a mastered sound with greater impact.
