We will have a video soon about interfaces and what we are using here so that folks can see how to set up all that stuff if they don't already know how. Are there any things that you are most interested in regarding effects? Normally I track clean into my SSL 2 interface and then add effects during the mixing process. That way it doesn't print to the track and I have much more options to adjust it later for taste. Thanks so much for your comment and question!
The first things I would check is with the exporting options for MP3 in Mixcraft. When you press the option to mix down to MP3, you will see a button down at the bottom of the window that popped up called "Edit Details". When you click that button, there are some other options that you can try to make the MP3's sound better on export. Personally, the only time I have run into issues that are audibly noticeable have been when my bit rate was set too low. Try mixing a version down with the bit rate maxed out to 320 kbps and see if that fixes what you are hearing. The other thing you could try is mixing a high-quality WAV down first, of the whole song with no master track effects enabled or mastering stuff. Set the mix down to WAV option at something like 48,000 Hz 24 Bits. Then bring the high-quality WAV into a fresh Mixcraft session and then apply mastering and any mastering automation that you need in that session. Lastly, bounce down another MP3 (try the higher bit rate again) from the mastering session and see if you are still dealing with the audio degradation with that process as well. There are other possible problems like phase and other things going on that could be the issue as well. Let me know if the above helps or if there are some other details of what you are hearing going on. Thanks for commenting a great question!
Thanks for the very good reply. I have tried alot of those things. It's more the guitar tone. Sounds great on the pc . But so much different on all other devices. I've got bias FX amplitube. Tonex. It happens on them all. It's like I've not ticked a box. I've got a new pc. New interface. Even went and got a Gibson Les Paul. Still the same. Gibson does sound better tho lol
@@sr-vw2pm Hmmm, that does definately lead me to think that there is something else going on as well. What is the signal routing? Are you using the vst's on the tracks or the master track? Does it do the same thing if you are only tracking DI? What is your listening environment like? Sometimes a not so great mixing environment can give you false impressions of quality and then the minute you try another device or speaker it sounds terrible. There are so many possibilities, but if we go through each step one by one for your setup from fresh project to the mixdown, maybe something in the process will reveal to us what is not translating. I'll talk to Sam and we can think on it. It looks like tonex has a free trial, so maybe we can recreate the issue. Congrats on the new gear and PC too, getting those upgrades can really make a difference in our workflows!
Good stuff! Love MX10. Any way to show us what your setup (interface, etc.) is like as well as what effects you prefer to use?

Great job brother
Thanks so much for your kind words and support! It really means a lot and keeps me making videos :)
Hi. Do you know😮 why my music sounds great in mixcraft. But when I mixdown to MP3. It's doesn't sound the same .

I've found your website. I will contact you via that. And maybe send you some samples. Cheers
Another great video...thanks👍
