My tracks loose quality after the Mixdown
I use Sonar and Reason via Rewire. Before the mixdown, the tracks coming from Reason sounds nice together with the tracks from Sonar.
After I bounce the Reason tracks and open it in a new track in Sonar, they still sounds great, but after the mixdown to a wave file they sound muffled, specially the drums.
I noticed that if I export the tracks from Reason, one by one, to individual midi files, and open each one in a new midi track in Sonar, and then bounce it, it sounds a little better, but it still sounds stifled.
You guys have any idea why, and what can I do, please.
Note: I export the Reason tracks at 24 bit. Then during the Sonar mixdown, I have tried it with 24 and 32 bits, but the result is the same muffled mixdown.
I don't know what dithering is, but i've tried with no dithering, triangular, power-3, and got no improvement.
thanks
