Bounce Level

We have discussed this before, but I cannot get things to work right. 
 
Situation: Vocal track with Melodyne.  Trying to bounce it to another track.  Bounced track is consistently lower in volume, and the difference is immedateily apparent when looking at the wave forms.  
 
There is no automation on the source track.  I have tried pushing up the fader on the source track, but that makes no difference.  (I deally, you should be able to leave it in nominal position anyway.)

I agree...a bounce to a new track with no level changes should render a new track with the same level.  Does Melodyne have any level adjustment with in the plugin?  I would assume it would default to 0 or nominal if it does.  But if everything else is set to 0, I can't imagine why your new bounced track would have less level.

I don't have Melodyne...but I'd be curious what you find out.

I have noticed some time ago that one of my melodyne bounces was digitally clipping a section of the vocal track..... bad nasty sounding clipping after a bounce. Audibly, the two tracks side by side A/B in solo were about the same relative volume. 

The quick solution I came up with (successful experiment) was to select the entire original track with melodyne in it and use Audio Process, Reduce Gain, -3db.... and bounce it again.  No clipping. 

I have always had bounces that were about the same level..... and now..... 

I have adopted a slightly faster way to work with melodyne where, if there are any level changes, it will show immediately.   I still clone the track for safety reasons..... 

But...

 I work in the original track and I do a "PROCESS AUDIO" function with melodyne in the track. It prints melodyne to the track and removes the plug..... here's the other fast thing I do.... as I listen to the track after I go thorough it on a once over..... there are some little things I miss that first time..... so I insert melodyne again and ONLY let it grab a small snippet of the audio where the change needs to be. I process audio and move on. SO.... if it was not processing at the same level, that new snippet would be either louder or softer than the material around it and there is not the slightest bit of difference with the levels before, during , or after the new edit.

I notice it mostly with Melodyne. I am sure konradh is not incorrect when he see's levels change with other plugins. I have not, as I don't bounce track much. I freeze, but not apply audio directly to a new clip inside a still "active" track.

And yes Melodyne does let you adjust volume. However, if you put a clip up, apply melodyne without even touching a single control, so basically rending the same exact clip, you get a level change. Fader at 0, pan at 0, etc etc. That is not the way things should be unless I'm mistaken.
