An organized layout of how I master my tracks on the main channels. Everything is labeled to make things easier. An organized layout of how I master my tracks on the main channels. It's good to practice mixing with -5dB on the Centroid to give you headroom for mixing later in the track during the final stages. Remember, slight clipping is okay as long as it's not a constant red light. This is a template for those who are interested in how I set things up. I have drums set up for sidechain so you may mess around with that as well. If you have any further questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to give advice and tips.
thank you man!
It's important to look at whether the redlining is the issue or maybe a certain frequency or frequency range is problematic. Is a single instrument causing this, or is the blend thereof? The red light doesn't mean much. what matters is that if you highpassed the sub out of your master, would the red light still be there? How I go about levelling, I put the sub at -2, then if the sub distorts the other instruments, they are too loud. Picture the sub as the ground. Without it, air. I put it first.
No
Yeah I don't think I will get it. Why can't I just turn it up now? That's what it will be, right?
I think you missed the point of giving yourself headroom and turning your synths and other sounds up later on
I'd say if you can't follow, stick to textbook mixing and mastering. To break the rules, you must know them and know when to. Do I know the rules? I'm just a guy that practices a lot.
I believe there is some truth to the idea of mixing at lower volumes, but also the idea of molding your mix at the absolute potential volume.
ooo this is cool
@naswalt I hope this helps with why I use effects in aux. Also a setup for my synths generally.
