Pack it in a frame.
Yeah I record all my guitars and vocals well below peak levels, but I'm curious about VSTs like EZ Drummer. Does it really matter if EZ is peaking? I mean I don't really hear a difference in quality like you would if a real set was peaking out.
The reason I ask is I'm at a point in the song where I really want the guitars and drums to explode. I have the three guitar tracks all sitting comfortably at around -18, and they're at the perfect level for the song. The thing is, the drums aren't nearly loud enough and they're already peaking at around 1-3 decibels above inf.
Sure I can lower the volume of the first half of the song so the drums will seem loud enough, but I'd rather not since it's already pretty quiet.
So the main question is, does it matter if EZ Drummer is peaking out?
