i do it myself and im signed,but im not a graphics artist,so sometimes i let other people do the artwork

btw can someone recommend a good program for doing covers with lots of effects/filters right now im using GIMP is there anything out there thats maybe abit better but dont cost alot of bucks

one small thing,i have my mix peaking at -6

i use the maximizer in ozone 5 when doing my masters,for the people that use ozone,do you just crank the maximizer up so it Peaks at 0db or what?

i also read that thread,and now i start with all my faders at -10
one thing the drums should peak about -8-12 is that on the master meter,or the drum buss meter??

EDIT:also i keep hearing different things about normalizing,some say dont do it,because it makes no sense(bob katz etc)some say do it
