Hello
I was just wondering about mastering process since iam a newbie and have started experimenting a bit. I have 2 questions regarding this matter
Firstly ,before mastering I keep negative db for all of the tracks. Final mix has also slightly negative db.
Mastering process brings level up significantly and i keep db negative.
Is it a common practice to bring master (final mix) track above 0db?Or should I move other tracks also up since there won’t be clippings now.
Secondly and sadly my mastering lacks warmth and so called “fat” sound? Before master vocals are warm and punchy but levels are low. After mastering levels are up but sharp
I use API 2500 and L2 for mastering. Is there any way or plugin to change this sharpness into warmth? Something from Waves or free plugin
Thanks a lot
