[tech]mix down way too loud track

anybody got good tips for mixing down a track that's way
too
loud? this particular instrument sounds weak in the final
mix, after bouncing it down in the program (fl studio) to
.wav

maybe i should treat the track with that instrument
sepperately after bouncing down the rest, but i guess then
the relationships between the instruments go wrong.

i can't turn down the overall volume because of distortion
that doesn't work then anymore..

send the instrument track and a bus of all the others
separatedly to a compressor. when instrument comes in,
compressor should allow some "space" for him.

maybe.

You could also add lots of cowbells...

yea maybe, treat that track sepperately
there's more than one instrument like 5db over 0db though, i
don't know really because fl studio's meter only seems to go
to + 1db. funny thing is the maximizer/limiter just doesn't
work then anymore. originally i was glad i could just export
to .wav to get everything up to no more then 0 db, without
audible damage (i suppose i miss stuff like low though)

from now on ill be a good boy and make the track soft before
all the mixing
