Best Practices Mixing, Mastering Tips

Hello,

I'll create an automated mix in DP with the mixing board and it sounds fine.

When I record the mix to a track and play it back either as a Soundbite or as an exported file from Soundbite the mix does not sound as good. For one thing, the Synthology Ivory full chords piano plays back too hot - when it didn't sound hot or look hot in DP.

Are there any good best practices resources or tips available on going from a good DP mix to a final recorded mix?

Also, when exporting a Soundbite as an AIFF file what Bit Depth and Sample Rates are best in the Core Audio Export Options window? (I have been taking the exported file into Peak Pro 6 for Normalizing and then importing the audio into Final Cut.)

Thanks!

Please be careful about posting. You posted this twice in the DP forum and once in the Post Production forum. I'm going to keep this topic and delete the others. Thanks.
