I adjust individual track levels as necessary. Once the mix-down is almost done, I turn off the limiter and play the song through a few times looking for obvious peaking issues. Once I have the all my elements and I'm working in Arrangement view, I raise the limiter to -0.5 db just so I can move all the pieces around, tweak the effects and processors, and experiment with different sounds/combinations without worrying about over-driving the Master track. This just sort of keeps everything at a fairly safe, even level while I bring the various elements together. When I start a new project, I put a limiter on the Master track set to -6.0 db. Well, here's how I do it-but I'm a newb, so you can take this for what it's worth. To thank you in advance, here is a picture of a goose wearing sandals: My question is: how do you guys use and do NOT use limiters? Plus, how do you figure out and set up the limiter's db limit? I also understood that what will make the tracks peak (and the sound crackle) is when multiple tracks share the same frequencies. Here, H20nly explains that it's a bad habit to put limiters on every tracks. It worked, everything was not above 0db.īut I read a few articles about limiters, including this one: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=203225&hilit=limiter Then I thought "ok let's put a limiter on every tracks so I'm safe: I can adjust the volume without having a too low mix, or hear a crackling sound".
I had to increase the volume of my speakers to hear this song as I would hear any other song. I realized afterwards that my mix sounded too low compared to other songs. As I didn't want it to sound too loud or crackle, I reduced the overall volume of my tracks so my master won't peak at all.
