What you need to understand is that mixes are not mastered..mastering is what brings the level and fullness to the mixes.

It's also techniques as well. I laid down some ideas in the other topic so take a look at them and see if that helps understand your issue.

Opus :D

Thanks Opus!

I understand the concept of mastering and have had many of my mixes mastered. As said before, these mixes were all done in other media than PTLE.

The difference I'm seeing is the difference in sound from monitoring the mix before and after the bounce. They should be the same, no? I'm asking because I've never experienced this mixing from ADAT or DAW...

BTW, these mixes will be mastered prior to press.

Off to your thread... :)

Tony

don't use bounce to disk

use a digital loop instead (spdif out to in... to a new track that is muted)

Another good and simple suggestion!

Thanks!

So why does bounce suck so bad? What happens when bouncing that doesn't happen using the suggestions in this thread?

when using reverb make sure you set up an AUX track and bus your singnals that to pick up reverb. If you use reverb as an insert it sounds like bigger piss. I case you didn't know.

You need to mix all your tracks. Use a master fader. dont use any inserts on your master fader. Bounce to a multimono wav format. THEN import your L and R tracks to a stereo track and apply comp and EQ to the one stereo track. That should help alot.
