Mix Down to MP3

Post by Studio 919 »

Hey Gang,

I'm pretty close to finishing my first song in Mixcraft 6 Pro Studio and I have just mixed down to a MP3. Then, I copied the MP3 file to a flash drive so I could play the song on my laptop. It played but the volume was very low.

Does anyone have tips and suggestions for the settings I should be using?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

If the volume is too low it's not a matter of MP3 settings.
You have to make it louder on the project. Can you pump the master volume?
Or you may want to put a compressor effect on the master track.

it could also be the soundcard on the laptop.
I have 2 computers & the soundcard in 1 is a whole lot louder than the other running the same speakers.
