What I have realised though is that the normalise function on the ardour3 exporter made significant changes to my levels. I have exported a new version of the Halloween mix which is actually what I am hearing when mixing the track. It is uploading now and will be finished in a few hours. The main difference is that the vocal tracks are actually possible to understand. The other thing is that the overall sound is smoother. No more normalising for me. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd. "ZPE is not about creating something from nothing: It is about using the zero point of a wave as a means to transform other forms of potential energy like magnetic flux, heat, or particle spin into usable energy in such a way that entropy appears to be reversed." _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
