Hi there

Whenever I mix music everything is ok. However I have noticed that whenever I record a mix as I play it back the level seems quite low. If I play this recording on my Equipment is ok a all I do is put volume up and of course it works however if I was to hear this recording for example in an iPod or computer or basically even from soundcloud its quite low.

I dont know what to do. I have played around with the recording level knob. Please if you could guide me on how to proceed. Surely there must be something I might be doing wrong.

Hi Martapitu,

Thanks for get in touch with us. I personally use free software Audacity to edit my recordings. Import your recordings to Audacity and select entire recording. Then go Effect > Normalize... > Click OK. It will automatically turn your waveform bigger (louder) to good levels.

Audacity is very easy to use and lots of tips on Youtube as well.

I hope this clears things up.

Kind Regards
Rui
