I'm working on a big project, a surf video and was wondering what steps I should follow to get the best possible audio for my film. I've already shot it, my main concern is exporting it from premiere, i've tested a few dvd's out to see how it would look and sound on a tv, and the audio, mainly the MUSIC, sounds terrible compared to other surf videos i've seen. The music is all from CD's by various artists that i've licensed tracks from and I'm wondering what exactly is it that I should be concerning myself while i still have some time. Aside from ripping the music as a wav file, exporting as 16bit stereo etc I still feel like i'm missing a huge piece of the puzzle that is my film which i've been working on for a while now.

I've looked into surcode and various applications however haven't really immersed myself into the audio department in a big way as of yet. What is the industry standard (indy action sports vids) method to ensure optimal audio that I can be happy with?
