Ok. My band recorded some songs yesterday using a Presonus firepod and Cubase LE, the software that came with it. We export the songs as .aif files. We play them in iTunes. If we convert them to mp3s in iTunes, the songs become significantly quieter compared to other songs. Thus the logical solution was to export them from Cubase directly as mp3s, which I though would have a better conversion process. However, some of the mp3s are quiet, and some are not. It seems to choose this randomly. We also tried to burn the aif files to a CD using iTunes, and it made the tracks in slow motion when you play the CD!!! If you try to convert the aif files to mp3 at any time, the tracks are in slow motion. Does anyone have any ideas that could possibly help me with my problem!? This is so frustrating.

Thanks,
Andrew

Does Cubase handle the dithering duties that are supposed to happen at the bit rate conversion? Do other DAWs do it as well? I always bounced my 24 bit multitrack files to 2 track & then dithered to 16bit in a 2 track editor like Sound Forge (I also use a PC) - is this not necessary?
