[Avid-L2] Re: 3 db Mono madness

 

A recent thread brought up an old thread I had related to this.  What mode are you in when exporting?  Mono, Stereo or Direct.  The interaction of these and exports has changed at various times.  I have found the most reliable method when exporting is to be in mono mode. 

Take two tone tracks.  Do a mono mixdown.  Traditionally that would be +6 but I found in stereo mode that it would end up at +3.  I was in the habit of mixing down two stereo tracks of for example music and then dropping the mult track -6.  Same worked with tone but then sometime after the addition of stereo tracks the multing changed and what was once -6 to balance the mult became -3.  This depended on the mode as mentioned before.  Try a test with tone multing two tracks of tone and see if that changes in level depending on what mode you are in when creating the audio mixdown.  I believe that will mimic the issue you are seeing.

Ok, a mono track send to dual mono seems to loose 3 dB.

BUT, if i have a mono track in a sequence, and I export that track as a mono
Wave file, why should the output Wave be 3 dB lower than it was?
That makes no sense, and I concider this to be a bug.
