Good point! But look at the graphics of the waveform? Can you see they have lifted? I'm also getting "clipping"? See the tops of the sine curves . . can you see that some are "flattened-off" - well that's what I'm getting. I'm sorry for saying "louder" - although that is also happening, hence I think for the "clipping" I'm getting. Try it again . . I've found I've had to "knock-back" the audio track header value to -2.6 db for it to be New Track rendered without this clipping - yeah?

Are you starting with one or more audio tracks?

In my try-out, just one track, the after was identical to the before - how about the master slider down there - have you tweaked that in a northerly direction?

Essentially, rendering to new track would be the same as Rendering as, so the new audio should be a direct result of whatever settings you have in the original mix.

Grazie,
I did this: Set up a short cut (from an avi file) on the timeline. Made sure there were no audio fx active; none on the track and none on the bus. I sent the audio through Bus A. and adjusted the gain (both on the track and the Bus A faders, so that the cut played up to but never avove 0 dB. (You CAN play at 0.0 dB and still have the red clipping indicator light up, mine did not.)
I then rendered to new track. Before I played, a deselected all default FX on the new audio track, but i did not touch any level faders. The new track by default, played straight to the master Bus, where I had made no previous adjustments.
Guess what, when soloed, the new audio track played at the exact same level: up to but not above 0,0 dB - and no clipping indicators.
I suspect you have some default level-raising track audo FX going, and it gets doubled on the new track render.

Anyway, thanks for a great welcome to London.

Thanks Torsie . .good time in Londinium - yeah?

I'll look into the method you suggest. But I tell you what, I really don't think I've got any fx on anything . . . you did suggest that by default I might have something . . is that the Right Click thing?!

Grazie

Hi Grazie and Tors

It was good meeting up last friday with you both. I also tried rendering a couple of audio tracks to a new track but didn't experience any increase in volume levels! Sorry about leaving early but I'd had quite a long and boozey lunch as a Flame operator left to go travelling for a few months.
