  Hi Nick

  Cheers for the comments.

  having now played with compression, it appears to have done the work for me.

  Unless I've got really tired ears now, the mix seems much smoother.

  And it did solve the over all levels issue too

    A new mix is here...

    thanks again everyone for your time and advice.

    chers
    Darren

    To me it rings true for that 80's commercial disco/fusion jazz sound... I 
might bring the synth snare down just a bit with respect to the rest of the mix.

    Hi Darren! 
    this is Jorgen here. 
    I have been listening to your Clouds song and I must say, I'm really 
impressed with what you've done with that song. I really like it. 
    Did you use only the tyros 2 or did you even use other softsynths? 
    once again, I am very impressed and it was no distortion at all. 
    cheers! 
    J"rgen Hansson!

    OK, thanks for that, I'll play around with it. 

    Cheers

    I like the "master mix" plugin in the vintage channel plugins. It should 
raise the volume, and also give it a bit of punch.

    Hi 

    Not as far as processing is concerned, only soft synths, and I'm not using 
soft synths for the backing tracks, not yet at least. 

    Cheers

    That would all depend on what kind of plugins you might have. Do you have 
any other plugins besides the ones that come with sonar?

    Hi 

    OK, I'll take a look at it. 

    Any suggested settings? 

    Cheers

    Adding a compressor would still keep it sounding live I think. It would 
also help with your volume problem.

    Hi 

    No, it's pretty dry. 

    I want to keep it as dry and live sounding as possible as they will be used 
as backing tracks for live artists.

    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... 

    www.darrenhartland.com/music/clouds.mp3

    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
