Guest Kamy Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I was wondering how you guys do the thing with the level of tracks that you want to be the loudest (like kick and basslines) in the mix considering the future mastering level. Do you let them bleeding in the mix and then limit the stereo master track, or let them go around 0db and then maximize them using i.e. limiter and graphic EQ etc?

Guest Stuart Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 i've found if you want it hard have the kick and bass high in the mix and if you want it not as hard the lower the level on the kick and bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest soliptic Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 i just use plenty of compression and overdrive on most elements in my track (on a track-by-track) basis, and then master, usually ozone -> L1 (which translates to graphic eq, multiband comp, multiband stereo imaging, look ahead peak limiter).

Guest random Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Compression is what you're looking for. Basically, a compressor compsensates low levels and attenuates loud peaks. But Compression makes or breaks a track. Too much compression, or not enough, or compressing elements that should remain uncompressed will all lead to disastrous results. Trust your ears on that one, what sounds good IS good, there is not universal compressor preset that will just make your track goes BOOM BOOM instead of BoOm bOoM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
