Just as MixMeister automatically determines the best place to overlap tracks, it also automatically sets the volume for fade-outs between songs. In Standard Mixing, MixMeister starts a track playing at full volume, and starts fading out the volume at the Outro Sprocket. The blue square volume markers show how MixMeister cross fades between songs; when you move the sprockets, the volume markers move with them.
You can however change the Standard Mix (sometimes referred to as "radio-style" mixing) by changing the fade of a song. You can adjust the volume of an entire track or at a specific point in a song by adding and moving volume markers. And you can also normalize the volume of the entire Playlist.
The range of volume markers is measured in decibels (dB), the unit of measure that professional recording equipment uses. The most common volume marker is at 0dB, which means that the track is playing at full volume. If you increase the volume of a song by moving the volume marker upwards, this generates higher dB numbers; moving it lower generates lower decibel numbers.
There will be times when the volume of your Playlist is inconsistent
from track to track. To fix this you can normalize the volume, ensuring
that all the songs in your mix play at the same volume. If the differences
in volume were dramatic, you may experience a distortion of very soft,
subdued music, or a loss of dynamic range of very loud music. However,
this a non-destructive playback option
Each time you open the Playlist, MixMeister will switch the normalization setting either On or Off, based on how it was set when you last saved the Playlist.
From the Playlist menu,
choose Normalize Track Volume.
To switch the normalization setting off, choose Normalize Track Volume
and remove the check mark.
You can increase the volume of one song compared with the others by moving the volume markers upwards.
Drag the Track Volume Slider left or right.
Drag a volume marker up or down.
Sometimes you want to set a specific volume that you can’t easily get by dragging the volume marker.
Right-click the volume
marker whose value you want to set, and choose Edit.
A white box with the decibel value in it appears.
Type the decibel value you want, and press Enter.
Right-click the music plot, and choose Add Volume Marker.
You can remove only those volume markers that you add, not the ones that MixMeister creates.
Right-click a volume marker you added, and choose Delete.
