export audio problem

Hope someone can help. During mixdown in Sonar x1d (either 'bounce to track' or 'export audio'), I thought my mixdown didn't quite sound the same as what I was hearing mixwise. So I did a listen to the mix and the mixdown tracks together with the mixdown track phase reversed so that I should end up with silence if the mixdown is exactly the same as the mix. (I hope I'm right about that?) All the mix tracks are going out through the master and the mixdown is going straight out through the soundcard, but when I phase reverse the mixdown to test, there is what sounds like a fully wet reverb there which would suggest that the mix isn't the same as the mixdown. Any suggestions?

    Check your routing.

    Make sure every track in your project feeds either to the Master bus or to another bus.
    All busses must feed the master buss.

    You want to make sure that NOTHING goes straight to your Main Outs (Soundcard)

    The only exception to this is, like you've done above, when you re-import a mixdown

    Hell B_Jonesey and thanks for your reply. Yes, I have everything going out through the master bus and then when I bounce to track, that is going straight out through the soundcard. I'm doing it that way to test as I have a couple of plugins on the master bus. I've removed those plugins on the master bus to do a check too. Doing the phase check (null) I hear a reverblike sound which sometimes fades in and out. It sounds as if something is going to an automated reverb send, but nothing like that is in the project!

    They won't necessarily completely null if you have any synths or plugs which have stuff going on like LFO's not cycling at the same time, or filters etc.

    How do they sound in comparison?

    Can you actually hear a difference if you simply A/B them?
