Remember that plugins are pre-fader so you can't pull down the level on a track to lower inputs to the plugins on that track. Easy to get plugin chains set up so you are hitting plugins too hot and getting bad effects from that. and what level you are actually tracking at. What the master fader dbFS reads at does not really help anybody here understand possible analog issues in your monitoring chain.Ĭan you reproduce issues without using plugins or using very few plugins? just playing with master fader output levels? If it's not a simple issue, like playback level then you'll need to play with and tell us much more what you are doing with plugins etc. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.įirst question is what SPL are you monitoring at? On what exact playback equipments (amps, monitors, etc.)? In a well treated room? What type of music? etc.
I am sure more info will be needed but I wanted to keep this short for anyone who reads it and will provide any info requested. I am hitting something to hard but I have no idea what it could be. The master fader reads no higher then -10. No limiters, no mastering plugins just the raw mix tracks. I don't know where I am going wrong here. I use subtractive eq-ing and am not using heavy compression or anything. I have plenty of headroom on all tracks and nothing anywhere is clipping or even close. It almost starts to distort and doesn't keep it's clarity. When I am doing a mix especially with the guy I am working with who has a very large dynamic range the more instruments added to the mix it's like the mix begins to get overloaded or something and doesn't stay nice and smooth and clear. I am not an expert by any stretch but I can get around. I got a question for any gurus out there that are willing to help.
