Please state the model number of your DVD player and the model number of your PA/Mixer. Also, depending on your editing, and your conversion, how 'hot' is the audio file. You can open the file in Audacity and look through the file. The wave form , at some point along the way, should touch the bottom of the window or the top of the window.



As you can see, there is an area that goes almost to the bottom, and almost to the top. If you are not getting peaks like this, then the actual wave file is very weak, and will require a lot of volume to hear it. The problem is, you can 'normalize' or do a gain change which will, in software, increase the total volume of everything in the file. Unfortunately, as you increase the total gain, you will also increase the noise floor, so it may be possible that your input to the mixer will be at a reasonable level, but it will be full of hiss and background noise. If that is the case, then you need to go back to whatever your recorded the backing track in and re-record it at a higher level so that does not happen.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
