Hey everyone, Im relatively new to mixing and am working on my bands first project.
I know that it is recommended to leave roughly -3 to -6 db of headroom when mixing down. On a few of these songs, the majority of the instruments stay within these boundaries but there will be the odd snare or kick hit that starts jumping into my headroom cushion and sometimes clips.
I have a good overall mix with some of these songs but again some parts are pushing the limits. Is it ok to just turn down the master fader to ensure nothing clips? or do I need to go back and turn every single fader down??
Thanks in advance
