Ableton Forum

Hi I've been using ableton for some time now and there is one problem that continues to come up for me. Hopefully some of you can give me an idea of how to work around or fix it.

On some but not all of my tracks when I render them into a wav file I find that all my levels change. The mix will sound good in ableton then the wav will have a super heavy bass kick or the vocals will fall back. My master is in the green and it seems really tedious to render listen to it and then make an adjustment and render it again.
Any ideas why this happens and what I can do to get my tracks to sound like they do when listening to them in ableton?

Thanks

which version of LIVE? what are you using to play the WAV files?

I have noticed (using I tunes to import WAVS) that my master level tends to drop down a bit, but not individual tracks/frequencies.

Hi.

Are you using any of the Live's DC algorythms?

The most likely cause for a change in the mix is you have changed your listening environment. I.e. you listen in Live in your studio, then listen to the render on your home CD system.

Is this the case?

+1, What you think you are mixing and what is actually being mixed are possibly very different phantoms.
