Just wondering what actually happens (if anything) when you dial back your
master levels a bit. I'm getting better at it but I still find myself
ending up with a mix that's too loud-ie-over 2 or 3 and dial the masters
back to -2 or -3 to compensate. Is there tone loss or anything going on I
should be aware of? Also, for the general rock mix do you recommend
throwing a compressor over a master bus to take care of these peaks
instead --if so, what are people using and what would a typical setting be
for limiting?
I generally bring the mix into an old version of Sound Forge and do a simple
mastering including L1-sonic maximizer to fatten up and also some basic eq.
I have the Waves bundle.
Any thoughts appreciated!
Jeff

G-bo
In your opinion--what's your favorite plug-in and settings if you don't mind
me asking to get a limiting effect without much boosting--
Thanks again--hope things are well!

Think that'll work in Win7 x64? In 32-bit program or with DXiShell.

Reminds me, I've gotta fish out my Sonar 3 (?) disks for the
Timeworks stuff.
