Mixing and Mastering.
Skiz, varying your volume while mixing. You'll get a better mix (just concern about Fletcher Munson effect)>O
Never heard of that effect.
What is it?

Well with digital, floor noise is pretty much a non-issue and volume and gain are the same thing.I know.
My point is if you're going to export your mix from cubase then open it in, say, Wavelab - then you limit the mix and or compress it with out normalising to -1dB, aren't you just limiting and compressing the noise of the mix. I realise volume and gain are not the same thing, of course.
The reason I ask is because I'm not actually sure why I normalise mixes. I was just taught that way.
When you normalize a wave you add volume across the board that brings the loudest peak up to 0 dbs.
When you limit or compress you are knocking down the highest peaks and raising the average volume higher than you can normalizing.

Go back to sleep, lolmore than likely it's none of the above....IMO it's the room your mixing in...my 2 watts worth

Fletcher Munson curves are a set of graphs which show how the ear perceives equal loudness at different frequencies. So, between 1-3K where the ear is most sensitive, a tone would be perceived as louder than maybe 300Hz where it's less sensitive

Gain is a ratio of input/output voltage, whereas volume is a measurement of loudness. If they were the same thing, you wouldn't have to bother recording your incoming signal as hot as possible - you could just record it with 12db of gain and push up the fader.
