I'm not sure about this one, but it's been plagueing me. I'll do my final mixdown to wav. the volume is at about 23 db RMS. I'll use my normalizer in SF8 to raise the overall RMS to 16 db. In doing the it adds compression to keep the mix from clipping as the RMS is raised. the thing is my crash cymbols take most of the heat during the compression and they lose there attack. they just sound off. the compression takes the life out of them. oh basically any cymbol now that i think of it. my hihats too sound a bit off. i'm wondering if it's because i have them to loud in my original mix. does anyone have any suggestions on what to do. thanks.
