Re: me again- Losing sound qaulity when exporting to MP3
Before exporting, save the project, then: Ctrl+A (select All) Tracks menu > Mix and Render Effect menu > Amplify File menu > Export. If the result is still not loud enough, use a compressor and/or a limiter on the one-track mix down and export a new (louder) version. If you want to return your proj...

That damages the sound. Just be aware that if you're comparing your personal performance with somethi...

Re: me again- Losing sound qaulity when exporting to MP3
MP3 encoding doesn't change the volume. If you are loosing quality , a better quality setting (higher bitrate) should help. MP3 is lossy compression, so you always loose some theoretical quality and you can get small changes in the volume peaks. But the overall volume should stay the same. (Some pe...

How to get this sound?
I posted a few weeks ago about how to get a radio type of effect, but couldnt really describe what I was after. A band on soundcloud started following me, and they have something close to what I want. I have asked them how they got the effect but had no reply. The vocal effect starts at 3:05 (this i...
