Equalizing Volume Levels?

[ianbee]

I'm sampling this outro of a song where the volume gradually fades out... I'd like to manipulate the sample so the volume stays the same level and it sounds like it doesn't fade out... how would one go about doing this?

[ianbee]

i just thought of an idea... add a volume automation that gradually gets louder that will combat against the sample getting quieter... think it will work guys??

If its already rendered as a fade out thats about the only way I know how to do it... automate the volume up.... may work enough to get what your trying to do accomplished... of course until it gets too quiet to automate up...

Yea we had an exactly the same thing with a sample we wanted to "borrow" a year ago and I used a MCDSP retro limiter and it sounded quite good and we could use what we needed in the sample

We write and produce for artists at Universal Music aswell as Interscope Records.
Make beats isn't our main thing but of course we make 'em as the trax needs to be Phat and awesome so yes and no but mostly yes
