How do I get all the songs on my album to be equally loud

Find a similar CD in your genre and use it as a guide for the loudness of your album.
Create a .anl file by simply opening it Har-Bal as a .wav file.
You can use the "match loudness" feature in Har-Bal as a reference for your limiter to determine loudness.
When using this feature write down the gain number indicated on the gain fader.
Now pull the fader back to 0.0, record the newly EQ'd file and open the limiter.
Set your outceiling to -0.1 and the threshold to the number indicated by har-bal. If there was an increase in Har-Bal of 4.3, set the threshold for -4.3.
It works every time and the volume level is consistent throughout the entire album.
This is an amazing feature in Har-Bal. I know of no other tool that does this.
Make sure you use a reference CD that matches your genre of music.
