How to fix this?

Post by Yungraider »

When im making a song with mixcraft and finish the song and mix it down everything sounds good when i listen to it with my bluetooth speaker or headphones but when i go listen to the song in the car it only play from the speakers in the front. When i listen to other people music it plays in the front and in the back. How do i fix this?

Evening,

Wow, that's interesting, I've never tried anything in the car before. Is a car radio actually surround sound? If so, Sonic Anomaly makes a free surround panning plugin -- you might give it a shot:

No, a typical four speaker automotive system is stereo. With a balance control to adjust the Ft/Rr proportional level. This is entirely controlled in the vehicles audio system.
Stay in tune, Mark

Hi, welcome to the Mixcraft forum.

The front/rear balance on the vehicle stereo probably got changed.

For some strange reason, my car radio Blue Tooth function defaults to front speakers only, and I needed to go to settings (either Blue Tooth Fader or turning on both front & rear speakers for Blue Tooth) to turn on the rear speakers. Hopefully, it's as simple as that.

Heh, heh. I snuck over there earlier and reversed the polarity on your rear speakers so they would be out of phase with each other and therefore cancel each other out... :lol:

Ha! That reminds me of the trick I've been doing to Dale.......
Oops! No one read that, right?

BTW I'm going with a 60 to 80% confidence level the original post is b/s, though I'm open to bring proven wrong

Make 2 x 5 foot tubes out of toilet paper cardboard rolls and put one end over the speakers and the other end under the rear seat. :D

Hello again, I see this is your first post here... Welcome to the Mixcraft forum.

If you haven’t fixed the problem yet... Reference your vehicle stereo manual on how to adjust the front and rear balance/volume.

Because you mention using Bluetooth in the question, the answer from Thomas regarding bluetooth appears to be the issue, mixdown to a c.d. and try that.
