I push treshold on my limiter but my peaks
begin look ugly......

I'm have lack of knowledge of Ifundamental rules in

Exporting levels in my CUBASE SX , mixing levels in output bus

You know......

Here in Bulgaria There is no place where to study
basis of mixing and exporting and
mastering....

Sorry about this beginner questions

I think you might want to:
A) think less about how it looks and more about how it sounds.

B) Compress in two stages. First a compressor with a bit of attack time (Maybe a multiband). And then a limiter to cut down the peaks. (Stereo image processors go inbetween, and EQ can go first or inbetween.)

[P.T.]

Limiters work by cutting off the peaks.
Use a compressor to reduce the level of the loud parts.
If you compress too much you will lose the dynamics of your tune.

-12 or -11db may be too loud. -15 is good enough, especially if tou don't want your peaks cut off and a distorted sound.

Try using TL Maximizer (free)as your final loudness tool, or something more professional. It uses a read-ahead algorithm to shape the peaks.

I like how sounds my music but the pictures told me

difirent things...

[dimitar]

Now I start from here

In cubase export at - 6 db


then in wavelab


first put in chain
Hi - pass filter 20 hz or 30 to take some dB's
Multiband C4
and L2
May be I miss something in mixing process.... Confused

But I fabricate that chain

I didnt learn anything about rulez
and principles about Mastering chains

Again I'm self-educated.....


Thanks again for attention

That sounds about right. But, hey, there is not one fixed way of doing things to get the super pro sound.

You have to listen, closely, and carefully and give some thought to what you want to achive.
