Audio to low, or audio clipping on Export

Audio to low, or audio clipping on Export

The volume button on the software doubles as a volume controller on Export. I suspect you have the volume slider
at about 50%, that is why the resulting volume is reduced by 50%. Please set the volume slider to 100% when you
export unless you have a highly compressed track. In such cases, to prevent clipping, it is better to use a volume
setting of approximately 85-95%.
