Volume Boost in Hosts

Does anyone know why the volume is boosted in host sequencers. I think the volume is a little misleading from when you listen to your music in the sequencer and then when you listen to it after it's been rendered. Does anyone else think the levels you hear when mixing should be the same as when you open up the track after you rendered it?

And you are rendering it as a wav file? at the same resolution as your sequencing?

Going from 24 bit to 16 bit will degrade the file some

If you "normalize" the wav end product after, it may have the same "volume" as you heard.

Are you using a mastering compressor at the end? this will give volume if used correctly.

I record everything 16bit and render to 16bit wav file. I use compressors and other plugins as well in the complete mastering process but I can't get the sound that I hear in my sequencer when I render. I love the way my music sounds in the sequencer but then when I open it up later it sounds small.

Yea, maybe normalizing would help...

atleast tell us which host you are working on

Which hosts do this?

Hello, I use Ableton Live!

I like to use Goldwave as my audio editor and occasionally with plugins because I hear exactly what it's going to sound like after I save my file.

instead of rendering try recording the mix (audio you're hearing) into another stereo track.
