Please Add a Limiter and Fine Tune The Audio Engine

I'm not sure what kind of processing is being done to the sound behind the scenes, but my mixes just aren't sounding nearly as good as the manual mixes I've made in the past, (Traktor X1's mixed on a Xone:92 and recorded to a computer). Part of this I think comes down to too much amplification. Mixes exported with gain set at 0 are just way too loud and have an unacceptable amount of clipping. I'm not amplifying any frequencies in DJ.Studio or adding volume to any tracks, so it's not something I'm doing. Even with the gain at -6 when I open up the mix in a wav editor (Audacity) there is still some visible clipping.

A limiter is greatly needed to remedy this and speed up the entire process. Right now I'm having to export my mixes (in wav format with -6 gain), then opening them up in Audacity to add final mastering touches. This is an unnecessary step and it needs to be included in what is supposed to be an all in one DAW for DJs. Studio quality sound of the end mix needs to be a top priority, otherwise what's the point?

Also, I tried the export to Ableton option, but it did not open up in Ableton exactly as it was in DJ.Studio. A lot of my bass cuts were not the way I set them up in DJ.Studio, but that's fine. I don't want to export to Ableton. I just want one program that will do everything perfectly and I trust that you will get us there.

    Today we opened the beta for all of you who want to influence the dynamics of individual tracks and control the output with a limiter.

    Please drop us a note in the helpdesk button in the bottom right corner in the Studio app and we will give you access to play with it. Together we can make DJ.Studio better!

    Here is a video of the new toys:

    A limiter on the master and compressors on the decks are coming. We hope to release them in beta soon.

      Fantastic news! Just the answer I was hoping and expecting to receive. Keep up the good work guys. I wish you all the success in this endeavour so this project can continue for many years to come. I've been loving it so far and can't wait to see where it goes.
