Hey guys!
*I added the actually examples as links to the bottom of this message*
I'm having an issue getting my tracks to match my references in volume.
I've done it two ways and I always get the same results...
1. I create a new bus to put my reference track on
2. I use Magic AB on my stereo bus to compare tracks
I always get the same thing... I end up with my track super loud compared to the reference. I can A/B between them in Cubase and it sounds super close. When I slap the track on my iPhone (volume matching turned off on my phone) and compare my track to the reference track, my freakin' track is WAY louder.
Is there a reason for this?
Obviously I can just (my shitty version of) Master it quieter, but it would be nice for this to not be such an odd issue.
Suggestions?
***Hey guys. I thought I'd just post the damn things. I'm starting to wonder if they are similar and the iPhone might be responsible. I don't know...it's kind of making me nutty. Can you check relative volumes quickly...don't need to listen to whole tracks or anything... "STAND UP J-11B" is my track and "01 Blame it on Me" is the track I'm trying to get close to. Any outside ears would be sweet.
