I'm finding in my own productions that this is giving me a file of around -18 rms on average when the mix is done. In a well balanced mix this is plenty of headroom and you will only hit zero if something is wrong / too loud. If you are writing electronic / dance music then I think setting your Kick drum to peak at -12dBFS is a good starting point. Happy thanksgiving, merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah. I understand that recording at optimal levels is half the battle, unfortunately I was unknowledgable with some previous tracks so most of them are pretty hott, which I hope adjusting the pre gain will yield good results without disrupting quality. I want to stay creative when mixing and automation. And eventually loose the direction of the track because I'm always lowering this, lowering the that. And loose inspiration always playing the level game with the master. If I try to get it down to the optimal level, I'm always playing a never ending balancing game. 6? - 3? I always never seem to be able to get it to these levels, it's always close to zero if not 0. What is a proper master track level before mix down. Can I get away with lowering the gain on the audio track to get it down to -6 -9, without touching the fader, having it at unity level.(gain staging it?) Does this disrupt the quality, or anything? I'm using cubase.
I have tracks that I recorded pretty hot. (I don't do any live acustic recording, I mainly deal with vsts, all interested) I need help understanding levels while recording and what's a good level for the master fader to be before entering the master. I just started to get into mixing and mastering, so, bare with me please.
