Are you referring to exporting with rendering?

I tend to export my files after I generate them to audio just as they are created. Back in the earlier days of using BB/RB there were some pretty thin waves created in some of the real tracks. I don't recall seeing anything weak and thin in quite a while.

However..... if I do happen to encounter a thin file, I always do the normalize in Sonar which is after the file has been created and imported. This way, it's only being normalized. One thing at a time.

I have done some render/export and normalize together and don't recall any sort of issues.

That's how I tend to work.

BTW: even some of the thin files seemed to work just fine in their thin state of being. I had the fader at a reasonable level, and after I normalized the file I had to pull it down..... so 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
