I have a recording with drums, r. git, lead git, and bass.
When I solo each trick it sounds fine. No clipping. BUT when I mixdown there is ample clipping.
So...I turned down the level of each individual track by the same amout and the clipping was gone.
I then took a very similar song to what I was doing(A Perfect Circle's "The Hollow") and compared the two.
Mine and APC's waveform looked almost identical in dynamic range and level, but APC's sounded much "stronger". It was louder and overall more "umph" to it.
How do I achaive that? And dont say compress. I've done that.
