Track Levels On Export Should Default to "ORIGINAL"
Hello,
I run a recording studio. We don't use Logic, but many of our clients do.
Without fail, when we get data exported from Logic, the level of each file is miniscule, like 5% of maximum gain. This reduces the resolution of the sounds severely and we're usually stuck making a mix out of needlessly damaged, degraded ingredients.
I don't understand why Logic even has this as a feature. Maybe some amateur user once in awhile might want to preserve the levels of the tracks so he could export and import into a session with all the faders at unity gain, but that is an incorrect idea if you care about audio quality. No professional user would intentionally degrade files this way.
So I think this "feature" should be discarded, or at least, out of the box, the preference defaults to exporting each file at its original volume, not fader-dependent.
You would be doing your users a big favor, even if they don't understand why. And believe me, when I explain this their eyes glaze over.
Thanks
DZ
