Does the size of the rendered file depend on the number of tracks of the song?
The size of the rendered song depends on the length and the sampling frequency, not on the number of tracks. To calculate it: sampling_freq [samples_per_sec] * length [seconds] * 4 = size [bytes] 1.l – Q: Why do commercial CDs have higher volume than the CDs I produce with n-Track? A: Commercial CDs sound louder because they are heavily compressed. You can obtain a similar loudness using a compressor plug-in on the master channel, or even two chained compressors with different settings. For example you may first insert a compressor with actual (soft knee) compression settings, and then a compressor with brick-wall-like limiting settings (with the compression curve knee near 0 dB with very low attack and release times). Experiment with this settings until you obtain a good volume without (excessive) clipping. 1.
