Volume Too Low When Rendering Audio
Volume Too Low When Rendering Audio
How do I increase the volume of my master so when I render it has a good volume?
Re: Volume Too Low When Rendering Audio
ive found this too if i keep my master green then i find my mixes are 7-10% quieter than other waveforms on soundcloud

A simpler answer is to just check the normalize box when you render, but that's still not going to get you as loud as most music out there these days (and that's not neccesarily a bad thing either!).

Use a Maximizer. I use the W1 free VST Maximizer. It works wonderfully.

Re: Volume Too Low When Rendering Audio
W1 is not a maximizer, is a limiter like Wave L1. The best way is improve your mix and the sounding for each channel, remove unneeded frequencies to have a good balance. Never use a Limiter on the masterchannel at rendering!
I can recommend this book:

its worth every money!

I found the solution. Ableton has a limiter effect which I turned up the gain on. This worked just fine and did not affect the music at all.

Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do "Stonehenge" tomorrow?

Re: Volume Too Low When Rendering Audio
read Tarekith's guide.
Learn about dynamics.
Remember that commercial material has usually been professionally mastered - one part of the mastering process is indeed using limiters/volume maximizers to push the gain higher, unless you're doing music for soundtracks or classical. In electronic dance music, it's not uncommon for a mix to be pushed 10db or more with compression/limiting in these days of loudness wars. Your DAW mix, unless you loaded a ton of compressors and limiters on it (which is not recommended, treating mastering as a seperate session is usually much better) will sound a lot quieter.
Also remember that what you hear in Live (with 32 bit floating point audio, tons of headroom, virtually impossible to clip etc) this does not apply when rendering down to 16 bit for CD/mp3 which can easily be clipped and has much reduced headroom.
Knowledge is power - read up on some good mixing and mastering material, and practice, practice, practice. Rome wasn't built in a day ...
