You can use a clipper plugin to tuck in that light shade(peak) into the dark shade(rms) and achieve more headroom and avoid overworking the limiter on the master. Check out the Clip To Zero method by Baphometrix.

@@bernardodocruzeiro2496 see it as Gain - input, Volume - output. So when you're working with a bunch of plugins in a channel you want your GAIN to be (somewhere) around the sweet spot down the processing chain in order to achieve the best possible sound and keep enough headroom for final processing of the whole track. Volume is just how strong, or loud, your sound is in the mix. For example, if you want your strings to be somewhere in the background you'll adjust the VOLUME, not the gain.

Hey great job breaking that down to a practical list that follows signal flow and explaining why gain staging makes a difference in the actually fader movement- I knew all of this stuff but for some reason felt weird about using secondary gain utility plug which is stupid. Another good side effect of having gains at the end of the fx chain on each channel is that you can use the last gain to balance- then all your automation is proportional so it just rides on top of the new level. Much better than going into volume automation points- selecting them all and bringing them all down. Also- that last gain plug in can be automated as well. Great job!

This opened my eyes a bit. I haven't cared much about gain in the daw, as most of them are 32 bit float anyway, so even if you clip something on the meter, you can dial it back on your next stage, no distortion should happen. But I've got also in a different setting a behringer x32 console and the manual states the same.... set your input gains to -18 dB, which is actually the top of the green region on the meters. I have been using it like this on the x32 and doing it in a daw makes totally sense. Thank you!

Nice! Follow the flow is the perfect . The path I follow is 1. Stage the sound plugin. (Obviously that doesn't exist when is just stems). 2. Input gains (Cubase has it built-in - looks like ProTools needs a plugin but should be identical or at a minimum considered step 3). 3. Stage the input effect plugins. 4. Stage the Effect groups/busses. 5. Stage the Buss groups.... rinse and repeat 3 through 5 as needed depending on your buss setup. Finally, when needed - 6. The Faders.... if you do all the above correctly, the faders should mainly sit a 0 and just be used for volume automation. Obviously, there are exceptions depending on what you are trying to do but overall, that covers 95% of it.
@neroldeer2 жыл бұрын
It's hard to cover everything when pinpointing something, and the points of not over obsessing is perfect, but, while it's not being said here, there are two points to keep in mind while gain staging. 1. Use your ears, not just your eyes... "move it all to -18db!!" can kill a mix when it destroys specific loudness's the music needs. 2. Keep your peaks in sight. Mastering needs at least -3db, better is -6db to work with. -18db should keep you below those levels but some percussion or big/wide drones or had hits can push above that range.

4:46 which meter should I be using for this technique? Is it the rms meter/vu meter/peak meter? Im using mvmeter2 and it has precise number metering instead of trying to guess by visual meter, its easier for me this way. Is it ok to go into like -17/-16 or -20/-22 etc? What about if a sound has louder peaks from one side compared to the other, left side is like -16 but the right side is like -19, which side do we look at to get to -18? Should the gain plugins be used last or first in the sounds mixer channel? Edit: 9:37 Edit: So I followed some of the first few steps and I didnt get all the levels precise but its around the average level marks, but the beat is very low in volume now. I then put L1 Limiter on the master channel and tweaked the level settings to -8 threshold and -0.5 out ceiling and its sounding pretty damn good. On the master channel peak meter its showing the highest peak hit is -4.1db, is this ok or what cuz you mentioned something about -6db?

I do something similar, however I use soft or hard clippers depending on the source material instead of a gain plugin. This allows me to adjust the dynamics of the source sound first, then I use the output gain on the clipper to gain stage. I do it this way, so that if I for example send the source sound to a compressor afterwards, the compressor won't have to work as hard to control the dynamics, which is kind of the common goal here, that being, to feed these plugins with source material which allows them to perform their best. Just something to think about, it is not just the level that effects some of these plugins but also how dynamic the source material is.

Great video and very important facts to get a balanced mix with enough headroom for the mastering. As long as you are working only "in the box" it works fine. The problem of this " -18 dB rule" comes when you would like to integrate external effect processors that are connected to your audio interface (especially some great sounding vintage reverbs and delays with only analog ins and outs ). Then the -18dB leveled signal could be sometimes too low for those external reverb processors and they wouldn't react properly (e.g. no reverb is coming out or only with a lot of hiss). In this case I recommend to copy this certain signal to another track from where you send it to your external reverb processor with an higher average level (maybe -12 dB or -6 dB). Otherwise you wouldn't hear any reverb on your fx returns. Some external reverb boxes offers digital i/o's like AES/EBU or SPDIF, then you stay on the digital domain and you may work with them as a plugin.

I've been producing for nearly 7 years now. Everything in producing can sometimes feel challenging. For me, mixing in particular. Whilst it's not exactly the dark art it once felt like, it's still really hard sometimes. Thanks for the tips.

very good video, congrats! After all gainstaiging in every clip with average volume, we saw clipping on the master fader, did i missed something, or did you forget to tell us to fix this issue? 05:49-05:55 its my idea, should we put again an utility on the master? and bring it down with the utility to -6 or so to say so much db that the master show -6? and when it comes to the mixerfader (to have one clip louder or quieter, automatically from this particullar clip the average volume will be decrease or increase) is this ok? because you still want to have instruments and parts fixed in the mix... or is the average volume just for the plugins hitting sweetspots in processing? thanks for your answers.
