Try always aim for -18 dbfs for when recording too otherwise your clipping the converters on your soundcard and remember to always to record at least in 24 bit. I live near no-body so in the habit of playing loud. Also, IвЂ™ve read a lot that mixing quiet is better (also for your ears) itвЂ™s somethibg I need too get used too. I think tomorrow IвЂ™ll try the 100hz cut, sounds like useful info. I often use the tonal balance control with a reference track similar style too mine and IвЂ™m always pretty close to where it says I should be. I mean itвЂ™s not elements but I guess itвЂ™s all similar. I was actually lucky enough to be gifted ozone and neutron advanced some time last year. If you take a well mixed song and play it quietly it usually sounds pretty well balanced. Like so quiet you can justtt hear the song.

Try setting your levels with your mix very, very quiet. Try low passing your track at 100hz, and low passing a reference track at 100hz, and then compare what you hear. use those EQ suggestions as mix suggestions and go back and fix the mix until elements is suggesting very minor EQ changes. Now here's the thing, don't just let it apply extreme EQ settings and move on. You put it on your master bus, and it can suggest master EQ settings based by comparing what it hears VS some built in heuristics. Sillyquestions I have a few suggestions for you: Still curious as too how they get it louder without compromising too much with the low end. I mean, only a few months ago I couldnвЂ™t even take my mixes into the car because i knew it was just destruction waiting too happen, but now IвЂ™m pretty confident I know what will translate.Д¬ertainly good too know I donвЂ™t have too boost my audio when in to ableton. IвЂ™m guessing these tracks are a lot louder in the first place but I can get them too the same level on both speakers without any destruction. IвЂ™ve referenced with a few of my favourite tracks in my untreated room and in the car. Saying that, it can only go louder due too it being quiet in the first place no?

Otherwise it can go pretty loud in a car without destroying the speakers. ItвЂ™s only ever too much if I boost it to -6db. Try A/B vs similar released tracks to yours while mixing but be sure to listen at the same loudness level.Д¬an be really helpful in telling how loud each instrument should be in your mix.ДЄnd -12 db master is fine, mastering engineers are just insistent on that-6 db cause they're sick af of receiving clipped masters That's best done in the mix on track basis rather than the entire stereo mix. That there is a tell tale sign of the bass being mix too loud in your track, you probably need to cut some of the lowest frequencies. So back too the drawing board I go and try too cut some low end too help it but then it just drops in level. I can never turn it up in the car without there being too much bass. am I thinking about it all wrong? Maybe that much headroom is a good thing for a mastering engineer? Do I really need too boost it or am I better keeping it at the level where it translates best? Is it actually okay too send it away to be mastered at that level? I just donвЂ™t understand Just wondering if thereвЂ™s any tips on how achieve what IвЂ™m after. So then I try too boost it to that level but then things donвЂ™t translate and I can never turn it up in the car without there being too much bass. This confuses me a lot since IвЂ™m sure when you send it off too be mastered they specify that it peaks between -6 to -3dB. The thing i seem to be struggling with the most is recording in my final mix to the DAW and things generally donвЂ™t go above -12dB in ableton. I do my mixing as I go on, never at the end so itвЂ™s very important too me to get things right at the first go. My music is pretty bass heavy, about as heavy as your average club track just to give an example. IвЂ™m spending a lot of time at the moment trying to get my mixes as loud as a can, translate best as I can and have a lot of good space etc. Not trying too take over the thread, rather than starting a new one I reckon it fits in this, but apologies if thatвЂ™s not how it works. Just having a read through this, I guess my question thatвЂ™s been going on in my head kind of relates.
