low volume after bouncing

Are you sure you're listening to a re-mixed track? If you re-save your song with the same file name and attmpt to drop it into iTunes, chances are you're still listening to the old file and not the new one.

I had similar issues when I first started to use Logic. Some tips I found helpful. Number one is the single most important thing to do.

1) Never let the metre go above red in any of the tracks before bouncing. Listen to the whole track from start to finish before bouncing and watch the monitor for the audio output track. Sometimes the composite of several tracks (but not each individually) can push the metre into red. If it goes red find the troublesome track element and either turn it down or apply a different effect to it. This is digital distortion and although you might not hear it in Logic (it seems to have an algorithm to correct it) when you export the song you will hear it and it gives the mix a horrible grainy sound in itunes and makes the whole mix sound awful.
2) Make sure if you export to itunes that the import settings are to the highest quality and that itunes is set to play songs using the best quality settings. Go through the menus and check them all.
3) Make sure the itunes volume is not set differently from logic (obvious one I know, sorry)
4) Make sure you use the highest quality bounce settings.

Hope that is helpful. Obeying rule number one has helped me enormously.

Here goes FogDog627 welcome to the forum also,

Don't bounce Straight to iTunes from Logic.

Bounce to Desk-top or a folder, then burn in iTunes or Toast,

After that tell us what happens.

I'll then tell you where to send the check.
