(from another thread about exporting quality)Exporting is a done completely in the digital domain.
Converters play no role.
Yesss, this is exactly what always confuses me!
I've been making beats for a loong time, and i'm constantly having thoughts about buying a soundcard/interface (and monitors, but thats irrelevant right now); but never cease to understand how it works in the sense of exporting the final track/beat/song...
I work in fl studio 10 with asio4all, and when exporting the final product, the overall sound is not the same as it was when i made it. (I've figured out that it's because exporting, is automatically done using the built-in soundcard)
This has been bugging me alot, because i'm so perfectionist when I'm doing all the work firsthand, and it's annoying to have something like this mess with final outcome..
The way i've been "fixing" this, since i found out, has been to put an eq on my master channel before exporting, listening how it sounds on the built-in soundcard (compared to sound on asio4all, without master eq) and shaping it to the original sound
- this however, shouldn't be good for the overall dynamics, i believe.
Ultimately, my idea is somewhat:
that it's normal to work stricktly on a soundcard (preferebly usb 2.0 or firewire), and thus have no latency problems or lack in soundquality, and finally be able to export without any difference in sound.
Then it's only a matter of getting some good studio monitors too, and things should be good from here. victory:?)
Please help me on this if you have any input, because i really feel it's blocking me, as you can see from this ranting post.. + this is not even all of my lack of understanding regarding interfaces (midi latency, )but it's a start. Pleease bear with me fp fam, i need you on this
