Is not going to be as loud as commercial mixes but then you can export the mix to a separate session and raise the level using some mastering tools. It is a good idea to research what the different production stages are for, maybe some online courses like Puremix or Lynda will be a comprehensive guide or even better, try to find a local tutor you can learn from in person, youtube is good for learning tricks and watch other people's workflows but you need to understand the basics of audio production first so you don't waste your time trying to make things work before they are ready.
Thanks for all of your help. I appreciate it!
