Waveforms Thin after export in Serato
Hello, I apologize is this question has been asked before - I cannot seem to find the answer.
In logic, I mastered everything so that my track peaks on master output at -0.1dB.
On the master out, when I apply a limiter and crank gain so my peak reduction is around 6 and turn output down to -0.3, then my waveform gets a little larger in Serato but loses a bit of punch, and gets this muddy look. I have tried to export WAVE, MP3, etc etc with no luck. Any tips here? And yes, I can noticeably hear a difference when playing it in a club setting.
Besides the small intro kick waveforms, at bar 9 its very muddy, where as that section of kicks should be crisp etc, there is no reverb or any tail audio there. Top example is what a normal waveform looks like, the bottom is mine, clearly a size difference and crisp visual difference. The colors are also less vibrant (dull when played, muddy).
Thank you so much in advance.
