Logic to Itunes Mixdown...is there a correct way to do it??

[martyinabag]

Is there a way of sending all the files in Logic to ITunes at once? Im going thru each track at once and Im having to mix each of them again as some backing vocals or piano are too loud...is there a mastering option to level them all at the same vloume??

If you're at the mastering stage, you may want to forego Logic and use Waveburner to adjust the level of each track. But if you want to change the mix itself (like the level of the piano or the backup vocals) then you have no other choice but go back to the multitrack session in Logic and adjust your levels.

yeah, was thinking that.. I knew there was no way of changing different tracks in Itunes, but what would be a viable option to take all the tracks and level out the volume do you think. Is that option you mentioned expensive to buy?

 

Basically I have 30 tracks. we take a line out from the Mac into the mixer. the tracks wont be massively different in volume, but it would be nice to have the peace of mind that they were all identical, instead of the bass player reachin gover and maybe having to bump the volume ya know??

Thanks for the reply dude..

Waveburner? It's a part of Logic Studio! Look in your application folder.

Keep in mind there's no such thing as two different tracks having a "scientifically" identical level. There's only a human way to make them perceived like having the same loudness. You'll have to adjust your levels manually until it sounds good.
