| Major Label records are mastered by the like of Bob Ludwig and other such golden ears, with all of their incredibly beautiful gear, namely EQs and Mulitband compressors. Multibands are more expansive and have a much higher learning curve than a regular limiter/compressor. I would recommend the Massey L2007 Limiter. I am not familiar with Sonar and am not sure if it will work within the Sonar world, but you can download a fully usable demo from the Massey Plugins website. And if you did want to buy it, it's less than a hundred bucks. But if you combine that and a good EQ you will be on your way there. Don't try to get it as loud as anything from a Major Label. You will just be shooting yourself in the foot.
