So, you have to render it 20 Times to get it to sound crisp in the 500hz range? Keeping the same mix settings each render or changing them each render? If you are modifying your mix settings each render then you have your answer.

What are your render settings?
What version of live are you using?

rendering to mp3?

this will lead to a loss in sound quality.

Master Limiter VSTs can sometimes cut off high end, check for those. Render at 48/24 to keep quality high.

no nothing on the master channel, not rendering to mp3 and in order to get it sounding right i have to just boost the frequencies which seem to be loosing volume with an eq on the channels which it seems to be effecting. surely when i render it should sound exactly how it did shouldnt it?

live 8 is crap for some reason...

seems like they are having the public do all their testing and giving them the headache instead of releasing a finished product

i would go back to 7 if i were you and if there is anything you want out of 8 just freeze it and bounce it to 7

This may be obvious but have you checked the eq settings on the software you're using to play it back?

My problem is more with bass.

I feel like I loose just a little bit of the low end when I render my tunes...

I hate it...

I usually just turn the level up 1-2 db's higher than I originally had them in my mix down if I feel like things are getting lost in translation...
