    Should initial track level volumes be lowered with new tracks added?

    I understand that ultimately, mixing pretty much comes down to opinion, and that there isn't always necessarily a right or wrong way. But there are norms. And that's what I was asking about in that last question. What would the norm be in this instance? To leave the initial guitar volumes...

    Should initial track level volumes be lowered with new tracks added?

    That's a good way to look at it. If a band is playing, they don't play quieter each time a new part is added in. But let's say that the band started with a 10 second guitar part. Then after the 10 second intro guitar, a second guitar came in on top of the first. Are you saying that in my...

    Should initial track level volumes be lowered with new tracks added?

    Pretty much all my songs I have been wondering this about. In my most recent song, I start off with one track, a piano part. After the first measure is done, after like 10 seconds, I will come in with a second piano part on top of the first one. Then after that plays through them two piano parts...

    How is threshold in compression measured in negative dB?

    Okay I got you. Another thing. Is there anyway I can check what the actual dB's are on the waveform in my audio recordings? For example, if I record a track in my DAW, I can see the track I recorded, and there is a waveform that shows the amplitude across the recorded track. When I go to...

    How is threshold in compression measured in negative dB?

    Yeah it does. So basically, when listening to a recorded audio signal through a compressor, the 0 on the threshold knob actually stands for 100 %. And than, -10 on the compressor would actually be like 90. -20 like 80. -30 like 70. Kind of like that right?

    How is threshold in compression measured in negative dB?

    I am just starting to learn about compression... I am using the Scarlett Plug in Suite. In the manual about it, it defines the threshold knob as follows: Threshold Knob- Sets the level at which compression begins. The lower this value is set, the more of the signal will be compressed as the...

    Question about Focusrite Scarlett 2i2....

    Hi, I am just wondering if anyone knows about how durable the Scarlett 2i2 is? I by accident dropped it. But it only was dropped about a foot and a half, and onto a pile of xbox360 video game cases. I only had it for like 3 days when this happened and only used it once so I can't tell if...
