OMG, please save me!!! Should I make the WAV "larger" by turning up its individual volume (on the clip) or the main volume?? Cos sometimes 2 different looking WAV files sound the same!! Or if I "resample(?)" one track into a second track (from MIDI or WAV) it gets quieter
You'll be unsurprised if I say "it's complicated"! In this vid I'm referring to Mastering, where the chief goal is loudness. For the creating stage - I'm sure (hope) you're familiar with the term 'gain staging'. I'd say I know the basics but like most things everyone has a different way of doing it. I think you can do it either way in reality. But this is likely why your resample is quieter.
@robin_miller_music Thank you. Yes, "heard the term" but no, not familiar with it. Also seen it suggested to use "guide track" (popular song of mastered standard) - they tend to be "thick WAVs" and incredibly/aggressively loud, so I "have" to turn them down just to be able to work
@darrengordon-hill do a little YT searching on gain staging, you'll learn loads, just remember that 1 person's way isn't necessarily the only way. Ref tracks are great for mastering (Will Darling, EDM Tips) has a great vid on how to use them and sort the relative volumes.
