Master volume adjustments aren't translating when i bounce projects from Logic Express, any tips?

hi folks!
whenever i bounce a track from Logic Express it's always significantly quieter than any other aiff, mp3 or wave file i have, including those that i have bounced from garageband. Even if i crank the 'master' volume in the mixing window, it sounds loud in Logic, but  the bounced file is a big 'wanh wanh' and has absolutely no change in volume.
i must be doing something stupid.
is there another place i can adjust the master volume that the bounce will read?
does anyone else have this problem?
i'm pulling out my hair.
any suggestions would be very welcome!
thank you!

Hi,
first of all: The "Master" Fader is for trimming your mix to your monitors only. The bounce will be taken from the "stereo output" channel, so look there for the correct volume.
Now for the loudness issue: Garageband has kind of a built in foolproof bouncing. Normally, you would have to adjust not only volume to be an loud as you wish, but you have to insert some plugins into the stereo output channel to ensure that the signal doesn't get any louder than 0db, because this will produce clipping and with raising volume, distort the sound. But:
You can raise the volume if you insert the LIMITER plugin as very last plugin into the stereo output channel. Make sure it is the last plugin so there are no changes to loudness after it, not even an eq!
Any change of loudness before the limiter will be limited (hence the name) to a maximum of 0db by default (you can change the value - i use -0.1 db just to be sure.) while the softer parts of the music are being raised in loudness. If you listen to it, you'll notice the whole song is louder without distorting. Of course, if you overdo it, you'll hear the squished dynamics. Experiment!
Garageband seems to have a built in preset to perform these tasks fairly well. In Logic, you have the freedom of using or not using these settings and to customize them, which is quite normal for a pro tool.

  • Video files in Captivate 6 externalize when publishing the project. Is there any way to publish an S

    Video files in Captivate 6 externalize when publishing the project. Is there any way to publish an SWF project with the video files all in one single file?

    Rhonda, I used Captivate 6. Create a New Project. Set the project size to the size of  your MP4. In my experience, this was 640 v 480 which also happened to fit nicely within my final project.
    From the menu, select Video > Insert Video. Choose "Multi-slide Synchronized" and point to the MP4 on your local drive. Select a skin and playbar that you like from Project > Skin Editor. Then publish. In the Publish dialog, choose SWF as your output format option (not HTML5).
    This is the SWF that I added to my master project through Insert > Animation.
    Hope this helps!

    hey I'm getting an error when I'm using an AU plugin its saying"Host Error: illegal midi databyte2 an my logic crashes any tips? thanks

    There is a minor issue with Logic where Logic sends corrupt midi data
    to plugins when recording in loopmode (looptool),
    we've released a hotfix for ElectraX 1.2 as well as fixed this in
    ElectraX 1.3 (currently in beta).
    ElectraX 1.3 is set for release in early July and if I remember
    correct the current ElectraX demo also has the fix included,
    so redownloading/reinstalling the demo should take care of it.
    In the meanwhile another possible workaround is to switch off
    loopmode when recording.

  • TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only  the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
    ...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
    Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

  • Master Volume Adjustments Docs

    Apple's GarageBand '11 Help file says:
    When the Master Volume automation curve is active, you can't adjust the master volume slider.
    I found this is not so. Unlike the track volume sliders and automation curves, one can move both of the Master Volume controls independently of the other, and both are active.
    Some questions: Does one override the other when exporting to disk or sending to iTunes? Is this a bug? How do I call Apple's attention to this?
    TIA.

  • After Effects CC: how to retain Camera Raw's settings when opening the project from a different drive

    I want to open a project from a drive which is different than the original one, but which has exactly the same folder structure and files as the original drive. When opening the project, all files appear as missing because the drive is different. When I replace these missing files for the ones in the new drive, After Affects relinks all media. However, the camera-raw settings that were embedded in such files are lost: After Effects opens the files as no previous camera-raw correction had been done. Is there a way to avoid this?

    What could be in my project that makes it unable to open?

  • BUG:  Advanced Actions duplicated when creating NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.

    Need:  CREATE NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8. 
    Problem:  NEW PROJECT (.cptx) duplicates the Advanced Actions originally configured within TEMPLATE FILE (.cpt.).
    For example: Template file (.cptl) advanced action "_initializeModule" gets duplicated as "_initializeModule1", "_initializeModule2", "_initializeModule3" within NEW PROJECT.  FYI, the original "_initializeModule" advanced action still appears.
    MAJOR BUG, what the heck is going on?!?!!!  Planning to deploy this template file to use for multiple courses with multiple users, this WILL cause epic confusion across the board.

    Similar problem, think they are working on it as well: when dragging a shared action from an external library to a slide or object event, and that action is using a parameter that was already created for another shared action, there will be a new parameter created which really screws up the shared action contrary to this problem. Tip: for the moment do not drag shared actions from an external library immediately to an event, but drag them first to the Library: Reuse Shared Actions in other Projects - Captivate 7 vs. 8 - Captivate blog

  • Mail displays a code when sending a picture from Photobooth. Any ideas ?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem since I bought my MacBook pro (Os X Lion 10.7.5) :
    When I am sending a picture from Photobooth by clicking on the "email" icon, the receipient of the mail can't see the picture but just a code.
    (For example : "ª◊} ÿåäa≈”Q®K ! ÜË.0T˛≠")
    Any suggestions ?
    Thank you very much for your answer.

  • Audio missing when saving a project from PE13 to a mpeg file the audio is missing.

    Hi All,
    As always thanks in advance for the help.
    I have been saving a small video project of short clips into a movie and every time I complete the save to my computer as an MPG video when I go into playback the audio is gone.
    IF I re-open PE and play the sections where the music should be it is still there. I am stumped and tried multiple times to save with no success

    OINH
    I have tried to force loss of audio for a Premiere Elements 13 Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG NTSC DVD Standard export and cannot. So let us try this
    approach...
    With Premiere Elements 13 Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG NTSC DVD Standard, click on the Advanced Button.
    Do your Video Tab, Audio Tab, and Multiplexer Tab look like the following?
    Video Tab
    Audio Tab
    Multiplexer Tab
    See if your settings are the same as mine. I have no problem with the MPEG2.mpg from the NTSC DVD Standard.
    If we agree on the settings, then look at the situation when you change the Multiplexer Audio Format Settings from Dolby Digital
    to MPEG and lastly try PCM.
    Looking forward to your results.

Also I haven't been able to change my sampling rate to 48K or more. Mind you, I'm in transition right now moving to a different continent and my external drive is stored away so I'm playing and importing from my OS drive.Is that the issue??

    Hi Francisco.
    Please re-post this as a NEW question. I just went over my last few posts, and here you are, and NO ONE has answered your question in three days. That is not usually the case in this forum.

  • PP Crashing when opening collected project from a RAID system on a single drive system

    Hello,
    I have a very serious problem with Premiere Pro. I've created a project in Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7 system, utilizing a RAID system.
    Today I collected the project from that machine to an external HDD in order to transfer the project to my computer, running Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 - no RAID configuration, just a single HDD. After converting the project to CC 2014, Premiere Pro crashes and has to close.
    I believe there's a bug/problem/issue with transferring RAID projects to non-RAID machines in general, since a collaborator of mine had the exact same problem with the exact same project file (and a bunch of other project files that essentially were previous versions of the project file I have a problem with).
    Is there any explanation to this? And probably any fix?
    Thanks!

    First time user! My Mac pauses while playing films previously downloaded from itunes. I see others have this problem but has anyone found a solution?

    You can install free OPlayerHD Lite and use File Sharing in iTune to Add the .wmv files to your iPad?
    It will also play .wav files in email attachment.

  • My volume keys aren't functioning correctly?

    Well, I just got a brand new keyboard for my iMac, and it's a bit different from my previous keyboard.
    My volume keys aren't working when I try pressing it, and the only way I am able to raise/lower the volume is by going to the top right hand corner and raise/lower the volume with my mouse.
    It gets pretty annoying sometimes when I have to constantly use my mouse to raise/lower the volume, instead of just pressing two buttons on my keyboard.
    Anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    Is it an Apple Keyboard?
    If so what about pressing fn+VolumeUp/VolumeDown

  • Z series Master volume problem

    Hi , I have a soundblaster zxr and since I bought it I have lots of problems in adjusting the master volume. I use Spdif port for my home theater system. When i choose dts or dolby it is impossible to change the master voulme form the SB control panel nor system master volume and I have to change it manually from home theater, this issue was not happening when I was using onboard sound system. The second problem is that when I choose no encoding I have to choose spdif option in system sound menu which only gives me 48 khz option which is not the quality I expect but the master volume is controllable. If I choose Speaker option from the system sound menu, I can select 96Khz which is better quality but I can not control the master volume, the master volume does nothing. I have tried to email creative but they do not feel responsible to even answer me, so please help me.

    Hello, 1) if you use digital output the volume can only be changed at the decoder 2) everything digital coming from the sound card's encoders is 48Khz 3) if you use the analog connection you get 96Khz Hope this helps
