hi guys
im recording/mixing an EP for a punkrock band
and there's this song in which the only way i could get the snare to sound good (with all the guitars, vocals and bass) was to push its volume up until it peaks.... and yeah, it sounds good when peaking! better than the snare sounds of most of the other songs, really punchy and balanced with the other tracks
I lowered the master fader until nothing peaks in there (the master track)
the only reason i know of why people always avoid peaking is because of the distortion of the sound, peaking sounds sound crappy most of the time
but in this case it sounds really cool
can there be a negative effect because of this ? perhaps in the mastering process ?
