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.

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! 
Jrgen Hansson!

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 
Darren

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
