Also, I don’t normally have my output channels completely maxed like this, I typically leave it as is from the drum kit pre-mix.  Also above is a picture of what my settings are when I bounce a track. This example I maxed out the outputs just to show how superior drummer somehow normalizes the track output gain on its own.

I’m collaborating remotely on projects with other bandmates that use logic and ProTools. I’m using Logic to create a superior drum instance. But when I go to bounce the track to be able to send WAV files of my output channels – I’m noticing superior drummer adjusts the mixer bounce gain level on its own.

I’m trying to see if there’s a setting in Superior drummer that is making it to where I don’t have the ability to have full control of the gain output should I choose to. Is there something in Superior Drummer that is normalizing the track when it bounces? There are two pictures above that show the initial bounce setting at 12 DB as it goes through each track in the mixer to bounce – then it notifies that it’s now bouncing the mixer at -18.9.

I’m understanding the concept of not needing a ton of output when mixing. But I’m trying to understand if there’s a setting I can adjust or remove for more control.

thanks!

Here is my process when bouncing the track. Basically going top left to the right.

I noticed it says bouncing the mixer at 12 DB but then it switches and says it’s bouncing the mixer at -18.9. Is there a setting that I should look into for this? Maybe a normalizer that I can turn off? When I then dragged the wav file into logic, the size looks and sounds small and then has trouble competing against other tracks. Please let me know if there there’s any other adjustment I can make.

From the SD3 instance – I’m exporting the tracks output channels into wav files.  Whether it’s just exporting the mic channels only or the processed output channels – I’m being told that the wav files are low in gain.

I tried increasing the volume in the multiple output channels of the SD3 mixer to 12 DB, each one, but when you go to export, it automatically bounces the mixer at a lower level. Probably because everything is over modulated.  I’m guessing.

I’m not sure if that answers your question but thanks for the interest!
