BigRedX Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Is the final mix audio file peaking at 0dB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfordStone Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Before you mix down, enaure your master fader is peaking at 0 as said above, or it will be quiet. I usually have it peaking around 0 in the mix then master it up yo add 2 or 3 db if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 There is nothing wrong with a mix hitting -12dBfs on the master fader at mix down at all. Especially if you are runing 24bit. In fact peaking at 0dB on the mix is a very bad idea if you agoing to get something mastered by a pro. You dont mix for final level, but you do mix to allow the final level to be made as loud as possible (oh boy - huge topic now....). Mastering, thats a different process. Just a small part of which is getting level. Can you post the mix so we can hear it at this low level? May be able to provide some more info on hearing it....
