My tracks are reading good volumes. The Master Fader is pumping away. The
Global Fader seems to be responding to my Monitor Level ???). And no matter
what the two faders read, my mixdown L&R are so quiet I have to apply 15
or more db of gain change to get them up to decent levels. Any ideas?
Thanks.-Michael

Do you have the monitor & master levels flipped, perhaps?

Check your patchbay, guessing you have master and monitor mixed up or
patched incorrectly in there. Also, it's a known deal that the temp *red
colored* mixdown overview file appears to be affected visually by the
monitor knob during a mixdown bounce. However, upon playback of the mixdown
file you should find that it does not actually.

Thanks, I'll try it. The tracks are certainly low on amplitude. When I bring
them into Audition they are skinny little suckers. -Thanks, Michael

Also, make sure you are monitoring post fader, not pre.
