Yes Wayne.wav does have great tutorials but there are also other great tutorials as well by other individuals.. I don't know how many other tutorials you have watched, but here are a few which have taught me alot, pensado's place, busy works beats, help me devon is also good, musician on a mission, behind the speakers, Raw Technique studios, Sean Devine, Audio Pro, ADSR, Sound Oracle, Modern Mixing, Matthew Weiss, Recording Revolution and several others. I have learned a lot from all of these individuals, they each have their own techniques. I respect them all. So the question that I asked earlier is because each of these individuals have said something similar to what Wayne.wav has stated but they also have stated other things. I'm just asking for input thats all no beef.

@pyratellamarecordingstudio1062 4 жыл бұрын

-6 is a bit hot for me for recording. In fact depending on what plugins I'm using I aim for -18 or -10. Interesting thing if you record everything at say -18 you'll notice everything will sound just a little better. Reason being is that your meters and even wave forms are not showing the quickest transients and peaks, which at -6 are clipping - even though it doesn't look or sound like it it will add up over multiple tracks. With modern recording interfaces theres almost no such thing as a noise floor unless you have a really cheap converter/interface or your recording at -30 or something.

I'm really happy I found your tutorials, they are incredibly helpful and informative. I was wondering if you'd maybe be good to cover using limiters at some point? Particularly in the mastering process. I use a multimaximizer and I find it very difficult to get a full sound at the end. It always seems to feel like there's something missing. I noticed you mentioned you have a mastering video coming up - I'm looking forward to that! Thanks, Wayne! - Rabb

Wow! This is awesome! Glad I came across this. I am a beginner when it comes to recording my own songs. If only I had known this basic stuff. I am struggling with everything being far too quiet in my headphones when recording and on play back I cannot go any louder on my Focusrite interface or I will be in the red basically, even using the faders in pro tools is not enough. I am using Windows 10. Is that my issue? Or is it something else?

@skycoast8135 5 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks for this video. Did you say that you want your master fader to hover around -6db before you bounce it out? I assume the reason for this is bc you want to give the mastering engineer headroom? Also, if this is correct, how much will the mastering engineer boost the final mix? Will they bring it up to 0db, or is there a certain industry standard?
