Did you not check normalize renders ?


Normalize? No. I tend to use a limiter instead.

You use a limiter to make the sound louder.

Which limiter?

Deb's waveforms look good to me. In the digital age with 24-bit and higher audio, it's better to have the waveforms a little lower than to have them clip, since there's no fixing that!

But it sounds much quieter than demo demo
What plug-in does each track use to make the sound better?
Give me some advice, thank you

Thanks Simon, I tend to keep them lower after working sound in my church. We have room issues, lots of room issues, and if I need to fix a video we shot it is a lot easier to add a bit of gain than try to fix clipping.

Off topic but we just had a sound study done. I learned a lot about sound and architecture which is a lot different then trying to get people to just hear. The room has a vaulted ceiling (only about an inch) that is causing the issue. The shortened version is that the ceiling is bouncing the sound all over the place in there.

As for the limiter, SwingBabyMix: I use the limiter that is part of the effects in Studio One. Just drop it on the stem then use their -3 db limiting default and a bit of gain.

Finish off in Studio One Project to make sure everything is about right for me. Lots of videos out there on how to use Project.

I never got a handle on normalization. I should sit down and learn it.

This workflow works for me.

I don't know what exact plugins were used, but the demos were likely run through an EQ and a Limiter.

I think Adar is very busy on the ver 4 and maybe other great things ?
so I don't want to push for some bug fixes, but you never know.

We don't have any release date for the next update to the VST plugin - however, keep an eye out for the main BIAB updates even if that update doesn't have a new plugin. The plugin relies on the Band-in-a-Box app, so improvements to the main app can sometimes mean improvements to the plugin itself even without a new plugin version.
