"I am not singing that loud" is correct. Loud is both an adjective and an adverb. As an adverb, it is preferred over the suffixed adverbial form "loudly" with verbs of singing or speaking. "I am not singing that loudly" is not incorrect in formal writing, but in speech it is stilted.
It is a important to remember that not all adverbs end in -ly, and many are indistinguishable from their adjectival counterparts.

Both are grammatically correct, but "I am not singing that loudly" is more commonly used. In this case, "loudly" is the adverb form that describes how you are singing. "Loud" is an adjective that describes the noun directly, while "loudly" modifies the action of singing in this context.

For closely related phrases, you can use a semicolon. You may place the semicolon between two independent clauses (an independent clause is a phrase that can be a grammatically correct sentence all by itself.)
