If you just increase the volume you will also increase the noise floor. Best to get the mix at the right level. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sharon Hooley Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 6:02 PM To: Cake Talking List Subject: [ddots-l] Audio Conversion Hi all! I'm working on some projects, mixing midi down to audio tracks, then exporting the audio tracks as RIF Wave files. I tried playing one track, and it comes in a low volume, probably because I recorded instances of low volumes on the midi side. So my question is, would it be okay to simply use a sound editor to amplify the wave files, or would it become distorted and I'd have to rework the volumes in the midi tracks? thanks much!
