Exported WAV reduced in loudness

[THEbotch]

Heyho out there,
i've exported a mix into a 16bit wav file and it seems that the exported material isn't as loud as i hear it working with MixBus3. In Samplitude or Ableton i haven't such appearances or differences while i'm listening to the exported songs. Any suggestion?

Were you using the monitor section by any chance? Maybe you were monitoring it at a louder level than the session. That could be one reason.

Also, when in the export window, click on edit and check the normalise value. Might you have accidentally edited it?

Yes, i use the monitor section, but without pushing the level, strictly 0 db. During the export, i normally use no normalising options, here i've checked with and without normalising - no difference.

Thx, Elmar
