"Mix CD" Consistent Loudness

[John Davis]

Hi,

I'm wondering what people are doing in the following situation. Say you are 
making a "mix CD" (or even a CD of your own music) where the tracks are all 
taken from different sources, and hence have different apparent "loudness" 
or volume. What approach do you use to make all the tracks have the same 
loudness? Is there an automated method, or do you simply listen to all the 
tracks over and over again and tweak them until they are what you consider 
to be "equal loudness"?
