I've restarted cakewalk, rebooted, and as of now, nothing is getting around this. In logic i make sure before i bounce that each track is as loud as it can be without peaking and then in waveburner after adding some mastering plug-ins obviously the mix gets checked for clipping and i turn down the overall volume until the mix doesn't clip but i keep it as loud as possible. Unfortunately, I got it again today while I was under the gun for a project and couldn't bounce anything. I've gotten around it in the past by opening up a new project, recording a quick clip, bouncing that one, re-opening the track with the problem and the options come back without any changes to the project. Project plays fine but if you select all on the project or any subset of clips/tracks, you can't do anything with it. I've done thousands of these bouncedowns as well in every version of Sonar to date (translation: I'm very familiar with bouncing clips and tracks), and every once in awhile the bounce to clips and bounce to track gets grayed out. I have reported this on the forum as well within the last 6 months. The goal of mixing a song, to me, means being able to alter the sounds so that the sounds transmit the MEANING of the song completely, so that they along with the voice, can transmit the idea from the musician to the USER, in the most pleasing way possible.This is definitely a recurring issue for me - you are not imagining this. And do not worry AT ALL if your mixes are not as loud as commercial CDs. Re:Bounce to clip - greyed out 1 07:34:58 ( ) As a temporary workaround, you can easily Ctrl + Shift + Drag the clips you want bounced into an empty track, then once they're all in place - bounce to clip from there. So, my advice to you is to mix your songs until YOU are as happy as you can be with them, and let the USER determine how loud they want to hear it. In fact if it is TOO loud, the USER might actually turn it down, due to early ear fatigue. Not because you made it as loud as possible. If your song is a good song, 100% of the time, the USER will turn up the volume when your song plays, because they LIKE it. Notice I said USER, meaning the person buygin your album, and NOT YOU. Here's what I mean by that:ĭo you notice that on EVERY audio playback device, be it car stereo, home stereo, boombox, iPod, whatever, there is a VOLUME knob or control? This is so that the USER can change the volume to what they consider a goood level. The loudness wars are over, and nobody won. Now, as far as making things as loud as a commercial record, DON'T. Analyse the mixes you like the most, and emulate what you hear.
Waveburner bounce clipping pro#
I think you need to get some more knowledge in that head of yours, and learn to mix like the Pro engineers you listen to and like their work. to make sure youre getting as much signal as you can without clipping. If anyone has any ideas how i can increase the volume i would be very gratefull to hear them. If one of your devices has little colored bars that bounce up and down according. nothing I could possibly tell you can substitute for experience. This is because you do not yet have enough experience mixing music, to know the "tricks of the trade".
I have no idea how i can increase the volume of the whole piece beacuse everythings was as loud as it could be without peaking. Otherwise you're comparing apples to oranges, and will never get the same results. So, if you have a song that has 5 instruments, compare it to another that has those same 5 instruments. You need to compare IDENTICAL song styles. In the SDII preferences you can set how WaveBurner handles the import. WaveBurner can import files and regions in SDII (Sound Designer II) format. This is where you're going at it all wrong. Clipping Detection Stops Bounce: When turned on, the bounce process is stopped when clipping is detected in the region or project being bounced.
Once the overall project is complete and burnt onto a cd the volume of the track isn't as loud as your average song! Youve got to find a way to stop the reflections from bouncing back and forth. In logic i make sure before i bounce that each track is as loud as it can be without peaking and then in waveburner after adding some mastering plug-ins obviously the mix gets checked for clipping and i turn down the overall volume until the mix doesn't clip but i keep it as loud as possible.
