I have a mix that I want to prepare for mastering but it is peaking at over 0db on the output fader of Logic. I know it needs to come down but I have quite a bit of volume automation written in as well as many aux busses ( for drums and multiple guitars etc.) reverb busses and plug-ins.
There seems to be divided opinion on whether one can reduce the fader, put a gain pot on the master or not touch the master and put gain pot on all tracks and busses.
What I've always done is pull down all the track faders and where there is volume automation Logic has a way to grab it all for each track and reduce it by the same amount of dbs.
However with this song it's not working, Can it be because of the aux channel routings or even the input and output of each plug- in? All I know is when I think I am reducing all the levels only, my mix is destroyed.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks
