Thank you for replying. I don’t like normalizing the entire way to 0db as I am concerned about inter sample clipping. I used to normalize to 90% in another DAW, but Podium doesn’t have that option as far as I can tell. For masters, I gradually approach 0db in a controlled way through layered compression and limiting. I would like my wav files to be the same level as the audio is when I export. Something beyond my control is reducing my volume. I tried exporting in different sample rates, but still had the same effect.
