harveytao Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 when i mixed everything just fine in logic, and everything sounded perfect, after i export it the sound sounded kind of dull. it's not really clear and doesn't sound like what i did in logic.

redlogic Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 What were your mp3 settings in the Bounce window? What did you listen to the exported mp3 through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanrs Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'm not surprised at all if you're bouncing it down as mp3. Try a comparison...bounce down a few different versions as aiff 16 bit at 44.1khz with each different dither algorithm and I'll bet you can hear the difference. This is the standard format for burning audio cd's. Open a new Logic project and import each of the bounced files so that you can flick back and forth between the different versions to make your comparisons. Just out of interest, what plugins are on your master channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think it would help the conversation if you could explain why you have to bounce to MP3 (as you said you did). Also, redlogic's question about the playback medium is an important one to answer. Lastly, the limiter on your stereo output is not going to have the same effect on individual tracks as it will on your mix as a whole. So I'd suggest that if you're printing individual parts or stems that you lose the limiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I would first do a PCM bounce and see if that sounds the same as what you hear when you press play. It should. Make sure "Normalize" (in the bounce window) is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure "Normalize" (in the bounce window) is off. yeah, it is off, but still, it doesn't sound as intense as it is in logic somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplets Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 You gonna have to live with the fact that mp3 is of less quality than the original, uncompressed file. That's what it is, we all deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
