cubase/battery question

Ok .. here is a problem I am having. I have two cells in battery which together form a kick sound. Now I want these to be bounced to a mono audio file. I used cubase to do this, but the resulting file seems to be clipped/distorted.
What I did was make a one-hit midi sequence and export the track.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Or is there a better/easier method?

With me, when I export an audio mixdown and choose to open it in the project it is always a few db louder, often clipping. Maybe you just need to turn down the bounced audio track? I haven't faced this prob for a while but I don't think the actual audio file was clipping, just the extra volume of the new track.
This still puzzles me; why it raises the volume of exported tracks:conf: |

| Could it be because it is converting each stereo track into a mono track? |

| oh and it is clipped because I can see it in when I open it up in an editor.. . |

| instead of bouncing to a mono file, why not just send them out a mono output in battery? |

Ok ... and if I do that how should I go about making a sample file out of it? There are pitch and volume envelopes in Battery shaping the sound. Battery doesn't have a save as an auio file that I can see.

if you set it to a mono output in battery, and then export in cubase, you can open it into your favourite editor and convert it to mono; dicarding one of the stereo tracks.
or - you can use a stereo plug, like waves S1 and just set the width to zero (cubase has a stereo plug built in btw)
or you can export it as stereo and use your favourite wave editor to convert it to mono. |

So no matter what it needs to be coming out of battery in Mono?
And then cubase will still handle it as stereo?
So, I need to use one of these methods to reconvert it back to mono?
correct?
Just being sure I understand correctly.. .
And if I do, why does it matter if it is coming out of mono or stereo in Battery if I will be converting it anyway?
