I've had a similar problem with various bits of kit - I think yeah it'll sound better if I record all the parts seperately then eq in the computer but it doesn't...Originally Posted by Milesy
Are you over processing it in the computer - ie trying to do too much, or is it something simple like when you put them together the summed output is just too loud - ie not enough headroom in the cubase mixer? It's a simple thing and hence maybe not thought of it but have you tried lowering the fader loads on the individual sounds when you mix them back in cubase and making sure you're cutting any bits out with the EQ that you don't need?
You can push loads of stuff together through a mixer (which essentailly will be what's inside the electrivbe to mix the sounds) and it'll sound ok (ish), but sometimes the same things at the same sort of volume in a software mixer does sound shite and muddy.
