Sir Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 When I mix down through the master bus and export audio the resulting stereo image is too loud and clipping. If I re-import back into Cakewalk as a stereo track it is unusable. All busses are set to 0db. Any ideas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr No Name Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 are you exporting at 32 bit perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 Thanks. No 24 bit but I get the same result at any bitrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Are you sure your export is the Master ONLY? IMHO, you are exporting ALL busses, not just the Master. I could be wrong... t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 No, just exporting Master bus. I've mixed down many tracks and never had this problem before. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't see hardware outs in the Console view, drag the splitter at the far right to the left to reveal them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 Yes thanks. They're set to 0db as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I typically use a 'Pre-Master' bus with no FX on it to sum all tracks and sub-buses and allow metering/managing the input to the Master. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 2 hours ago, Sir said: Yes thanks. They're set to 0db as well. Just one question have you muted all the tracks that feed the master buss. I have bounced the tracks down to a new track which is feeding the master bus. Then when exporting forgotten to mute all the source tracks.

Then when exporting forgotten to mute all the source tracks. Just for the record, my preferred approach is to Output the 'Master Bounce' track direct to the main hardware outs (i.e. in parallel with the Master bus) and group that track's Mute in opposition to the Master bus Mute. Then you can freely A/B between them with one click, and your live mix is ready for further work any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
