What level do the red lights on the meter bridge come on ? how much headroom is still left after we see a red clip light ?
Seems like a simple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere
Clipped what? Since you are in the Protools forum, I'm assuming you are talking about ITB clip lights. If you are talking about the clip indicators on your preamp or mixing board, that is an entirely different ball of wax.From my experiences i have recorded vocals which have clipped badly during a take and yet when i analyse the file it peaked at -4db.
He likes the sound of limiting. A lot of people do.On a random note, i have also worked with a blind country music producer in tamworth and when bouncing down mixes he only liked it when there was plenty of red light action and when i backed it off he always said the track has lost energy and we had to do it again with red lights blazing
interesting
