Hey there! On most of the tracks i've been producing i put the kick peaking at -3 /4 dB and the bass peaking aat -5/-6 dB (in the individual tracks) and then when i export the song in my host for future mastering i decrese a bit the volume of the master fader so the major peak is around -6 dB.
But recently one friend told me that in his songs he puts the kick peaking as -11 dB and the bass at -13 dB and letting the master fader on the default value, explaining that if you do this way you'll get better results. However i don't really understand how a track could benefit from it, since the kick is the highest element on volume of the track.
Can someone clarify this to me?

As long as none of it involves clipping, it doesn't matter.
 You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |

As far as i know it doesnt really matter as long as it doesnt clip. And even a little clipping isnt too bad, but it might be better to figure out what is clipping and adjust it.
Normalising is not a good idea though. Because it also raises the noise level. |

I read some time ago about this very issue, but can't recall where or the exact reasoning behind it... but in this article the author wrote that it was best to have your peaks quite low, i think it was around -16 to -12 dB, in the digital realm while analog could go up to something like -3dB...
I believe it was something to do with mastering and the benefit of having some headroom, but i really can't remember.
I will try to find the article again  |
