[ddots-l] Re: Bouncing to a single Audio Track

Are you applying any compressors on the track? That would help tremendously.

  Hi all.

  OK, I'm mixing down several midi tracks to a single stereo audio track.

  If I leave the levels pretty much as they are, it clips and distorts like 
nothing on earth, but if I drop the levels to where they don't distort, the 
over all volume is really low.

  Is it best to put up with this low level and then increase it using the audio 
trakcs volume to bring it back up to where it was?

  I'm really asking for a good workflow method for getting the best possible 
levels.

  to illustrate, take a listen to...

  the levels when bouncing to audio were really low, but once the audio track 
was recorded, I increased it's volume to plus 3 and exported.

  In this respect I really miss a good mixing desk.

  cheers
  Darren
