Do you mix in Peak mode or RMS?

[stash98]

whatever. comps don't add intensity, they add compression. If you can work it well and like what it does, use it - its your record, right?

and the majority of albums sound like crap.

well comps do add some intensity if you dont over do it...but whatever, i don't feel like getting flamed because i brought up compression.

my main reason for posting was to find out what you guys are peaking at in Tracktion.

didn't mean to flame - I really meant it about doing whatever sounds good to you. I guess what I bristle at is the idea that some piece of equipment or process (like compression on the mix buss) is necessary or "the way the big guys do it". I think that a lot of people will do things like slap final mix on the stereo bus because it will "make it pro". The results are not always pretty. The lesson I guess is to do what you understand and can control.

no i agree with that totally..its just something to try if you have a good comp and aren't completely happy with your mixes...

im getting my peaks w/out vocals at -4 so i think that should work well for non mastered stuff im doing. just been losing brightness in my 24 bit mixes for some reason..i have taken off the master bus comp too, but thats not the issue really either..not sure what it is yet.

I just start with one instrument (drums on full blown songs / guitar on acoustic songs) and mix them to about 0.0dB then I adjust everything else to suit that instrument..... when things get too loud i turn the master volume down.... when done I just go to the master and select "find nomralised level depending on the max of the whole edit" lower the result by 0.3 and export as 32bit unmastered

why lower by 0.3 Greg?

[multree]

well not everybody with a Betabugs sig is named Greg and I just do it in case there are some peaks that have been calculated wrongly or whateva.... I'm known as mister ubercautious

and I'm mully btw

[multree]

why lower by 0.3 Greg?

yeah Greg tell us why
