I have a mastered soundtrack at 48Khz (Wav). I am trying to encode this to AC-3 by rendering it using Vegas. My question to the experts out there is - how can I set it so that the change to AC-3 Stereo Encoding does not muck about with the volume levels - it keeps lowering the gain (a lot!).
I have tried playing with the settings but so far nothing is working. I am stumped.
Surely there is a way. ?

Check the following settings:
- dialog normalization...the lower it is, the greater the gain when your material is decoded.
- dynamic range compression
