    Hi Chris, great vid man. Question, so when ive Gain Staged with the pre-gain in mix console, you are definitely saying DO NOT touch pre-gain in mixcon after?

    • @mixdownonline
      @mixdownonline 8 часов назад

      You can if you want, but you just need to consider that it will affect some of the plugins you might have on that channel, like compressor, limiters, clippers, saturators that will behave depending on the amount of signal they get.

    For my style of music, -14 generally sounds best to me during the bulk of the song, like verse patterns.. but when it crescendos to the highest rocking part, my ears really want to go to more like -10.5 most times

    • @mixdownonline
      @mixdownonline 8 часов назад

      Yes, but no need to gain stage too quiet, so just make sure not to peak your Mis Bus. On my side, I don't go over -3 dbfs on peaks, so I keep some headroom for mastering

    How about some uad analoque emulations that are optimized at different levels from lets say -18 to about -12 dbfs?

    • @mixdownonline
      @mixdownonline 12 часов назад

      That's exactly the dbfs range I aim. VU metering is an average level, and dbfs a peak level metering. So -18 to about -12 dbfs for gain staging is good to follow.

    My question is, when a track is in a fader, and running hot, there's the gain stage knobs right there. But if you have 2 or 3 tracks like this, and you pout them in a group, then the group gets hot. We'll you can hit that button again and everything seems fine. But what about putting a compressor on one? Or 2 - 3 other plugs...do you gain stage using the slider? Or the button that inside? And do you have any merch? I would love to have your logo on a hat, or shirt, or even a coffee mug. Mixdown brother!!!!

    Very good video about gain staging, I totally can agree upon 😊 Now hope that the comments will be respectful because for some people gain staging can be a very controversial topic. People who think gain staging doesn’t matter can be aggressively opinionated about it. For some people the topic can become a matter of life or death 😂

    I like the Arc with the hardware box, that you theoretically can use for a seperate system and run the software in eg Cubase. I like the SoundID for its combined speaker and Headphone solution. Btw. Even you said you don't use calibration for Headphones. With your stand on the differences between the 2 systems, which i agree with. Unless we have very expensive equipment I doubt most of us can hear a big difference. I've haught on purchasing SoundID, but regards to the custom headphones profile you can get at extra cost, sending in your headphones and let Sonarworks measure it in detail, wonder If that is worth it .. doubt many would be able to hear the diff. between the custom measurement and the "General" profile SoundID gives you if you have one of the popular headphones they support
