If you do, how do you make it sound the way you originally intended? It's pretty hard to mix and master a song when the export process completely changes the dynamic balance.To download LMMS, follow these simple steps:ġ.

Just to make sure, I exported it again with the same settings minus the oversampling, and it sounded just like how it did while editing it. The character of the sound was completely changed, and not for the better this time. Of course, everything sounded nice and smooth and less edgy, but a lot of the subtleties and dynamics of the song were lost. I used a ton of lowpass filters (on almost every track at certain parts) and the 2x oversampling made these filters way overkill (everything sounded very muted). I'm used to having the oversampling make the song sound a little different (almost always in a good way) but this time, it really affected the sound a lot. Like usual, I did a bit rate of 192, medium speed sinc, and 2x oversampling. I'm almost done with another song, and I exported the (nearly) final mix so I could listen to it.
