You guys, I’ve been hounding through and trying to apply this forum’s lovely users’ numerous tactics to achieve awesome sound output when using the internal recorders on OT (I still have a ton of tabs open). But, something is just not clicking in my head and I’m hoping someone can help me out here.
Let me start off by saying that I don’t have a master track… I find myself usually needing that extra track to add/separate elements from another sample in my beat. Here’s what I’m not understanding…
Does one have to set all tracks to +12db, all the mains to 127, and all the volume in AMP to 0 to achieve the juicy straightforward loudness out of OT? When I do that I get excessive levels out of my tracks where I need to turn the AMP volume setting lower to correct everything, and I don’t know if that’s what’s causing the imbalance in my exported audio? Things spank hard on the OT, and I’ve read that there’s a +3dB added additionally to the headphone out, which is what my past/current experiences are being compared to.
Can anyone please speak some truth on this matter so that I can make my beats spank in an honest fashion for the world to hear.
