Hey all,
I always put a SPAN VST on the master channel, and use it to monitor levels while mixing.
Recently, I've noticed there seem to be a diff. between the levels I see from SPAN when just monitoring a song live vs. rendering.
For instance, when just playing a song live, I try to keep the levels from peaking higher than around -3db with as low an RMS as possible.
But I noticed that for some reason, when I render, the levels in SPAN show MUCH lower peak & RMS values (usually a difference of >3db peaking, and >8 RMS, so much quieter sounding songs ).
Wondering if anybody else has noticed this, and if so, do you know a way to keep the levels consistent between live vs. render? Or maybe what it is I could be doing wrong with my mixes that might account for that difference in final volume?
