![]() If you are running 24 bit, did you remember to use a dithering plug or choose a POW-R dithering option in Live's audio export dialogue box. Use a peak limiter (preferably one with oversampling such as Voxengo's Elephant to prevent intersample peaking) and set it to about -0.3db to prevent digital overs. Go back, re EQ, reset your track compressors so they aren't pumping too hard and causing hypercompression. I personally don't recommend using multiband compressors unless the mix is f**ed and you lost the master file. When you dither this down, it will either suck away the punchiness (as John said) or you will hear artifacts or distortion. Watch your meters ! In 24 bit mode,you have 12db more headroom, so unlike 16 bit mode (which you render to for CD audio or mp3 etc), when you hit the ceiling 0dbfs, it 'soft clips' as mentioned. Learn how to use compressors and limiters properly to enhance your sound, normalize is a one button click but it is never a one stop shop solution. This is about the 3rd or 4th instance we've had of 'my rendered mix sounds horrible compared to listening in my DAW' of late.Ĭombine what was said below and you solid reasons why.
