I've recently been looking at some videos on youtube with regards to gain staging after theach tracks have been recorded.
One tutorial said it's good practice to set all the faders at unity and play the track in its entirety. The guy then systematically went through each track and increased or decreased the gain (within the daw) so that the very upmost peaks reached -10 dbfs for each track.
Now this got me thinking... what if I've recorded one guitar track which varies in dynamics from start to finish. I then mult this track (splitting the various parts verse/chorus etc onto seperate tracks for independent processing/mixing) should I then do the same gain staging process described above for each multed part? Or, should I do this just to the one track to start with, before multing...?
Hmmm
