CD tracks are “mastered” using special processing to raise their level,
balance the EQ, and basically polish them up. There is no process on the
Motif that will bring your tracks up to that commercial level. You must
use mastering software to do it.

Audacity is free, and is a mastering program:

Ozone is an excellent mastering software package. You have to buy it, however, there is a free 10[day downloadable demo which you can try out:

For Mac, there is BIAS Peak mastering software:

This book, available at the Shop, explains mastering:
