I have a dullness to my wave export after burned to cd

CJ, you're assuming he's talking about a translation issue, IOW the recording doesn't sound the same on another playback system such as a car stereo. Perhaps you're right, but nothing in the OP's post indicates that. The way I'm reading it, he's saying the exported file doesn't sound right over the same speakers he used to mix it.

djwhit54, can you clarify? Are we talking about an exported mix that sounds different when played back on your computer using the same speakers and headphones that you used to make the mix?

If so, try this: rip the song from the CD and import it into your original project as a separate track. This will allow you to A/B it with the original mix and thereby determine if a difference really exists.

I am saying my wave dump doesn't sound the same as my recording on the same system or any other system.  I have an older sonar & this ISN'T a problem. It seems  8.5 doesn't have the separation or clearity (after dump) that my older Sonar does. Am I dumping wrong. I am going to export audio. Are there other things I can try  (Settings)  I am using the normal 24 bit settings
 
I'll try that Bitflipper  thanks

Well then its how your exporting your wave file. you can list your steps here and then we cansee what your doing worng. Its most likely your sourse. I select main outs as the sourse, since thats the last stage before it hits my studio monitors..And i get a mix that is exactly the same as it was in sonar
