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

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
