I've just starting learning Reaper and am curious if anyone would know why when I got to render a file it drops the volume significantly for various parts depending on what's playing. It's like it's ducking the mix or something.

It's annoying because I can seem to render it the way I actually hear it. It's like "If you could record the same way it's going to the speakers, that would be nice." lol

Btw, I'm very certain it's human error on my side.

Any ideas?

Are you using volume envelopes in it? Or any sort of compressor?

Both could do that.... but it's likely not that.

No. When the drums come in, the rest of the mix drops way down.

If it helps, this is not my experience with Reaper at all. It renders what I hear. Although sometimes I need to adjust and re-render several times cause what I hear is not what I actually want after a few listens. But I think we all do that...

It actually ended up being a dumb little setting in my soundcard/windows. It's something that supposedly compensates for loudness/volume changes for humans...um, ok. lol If they say so.

I have never experienced any issues after rendering in Reaper. Having said that I’ll often render leave it for a day or so listen again and maybe redo it. I have found I do that a lot less since using Tonal Balance Control (a part of Izotope Ozone Advanced).

I did put up a link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JwDcTPn2dvc yesterday. This really covers the basics in Reaper. I also recommend going to http://www.kennymania.com/reaper-videos/#reaper-5-explained
When it comes to Reaper Kenny Gioia is the man. This site has everything you need to know and then some about Reaper.

Yes I was this time. It was for a quick ref mix.

HTL, that's really interesting. You're pretty clever to have found that. It would never have occurred to me to look at my soundcard settings.

All the best with your Reaper learning, it's such great software.

All the best,
Noel

Hear To Learn,

Thank you for taking time to respond to my question.

I suspect an issue with a sound card setting would affect render output of any DAW so your issue could happen to any one of us.

Thanks guys. It was pretty annoying. Everything was fine until the drums kicked in. Then everything dropped behind the drums, like it was ducking. Hopefully if this happens to anyone this will help.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
