Found this vid interesting, thanks for posting. I have a question about this. I'm running PT 11.3, for reference. If you send all your tracks to a bus named "mix" then change your master fader output to "mix" bus, then enable bounce track input to "mix" input, aren't all the tracks going directly to the input of the bounce track? Having the master fader going to bounce track as well isn't that causing the tracks to go to the bounce track twice? What am I missing here? I tried this, and maybe this is just for mixing, not recording, because I tried to record a guitar track and the latency was crazy. When I change the guitar track output back to main out, it was normal. Sending it to the MasterMix bus sounded horrible. Any help would be grateful.

Thumbs up to you for this video. What is a good vocal recording level? Is it -10dB -12dB or -6db? Thank you.

[@PabloLaFrossia]

Thanks! I aim for about -8dB. When using Pro Tools, I look at the meters and when it hits yellow, I’m good. “Yellow is the new red.” Happy mixing!

Great vid. Some questions for you. You mentioned no plug ins on print track. Why ? If I need to insert some EQ, Compression, etc., do it on the Mix track? If I want a pseudo Master, say insert , example Fab L2, do I place it on the Mix also? Last one. Doing this way, sounds better than a bounce? Thanks a lot and awaiting for your response. Thanx once again. Peter

[@PabloLaFrossia]

Thanks for watching! My master bus is where I do my final mix, adding compression mostly. I don’t usually EQ the mix. If I get notes from a client, I’ll try to find the problem in the channel tracks and EQ from there. Although there’s nothing wrong with bouncing a track, I feel more confident that printing the track nothing will go wrong. Offline bouncing always scared me, but many engineers, like Billy Decker, bounce their mix and never have issues. I started printing early, I guess from my analog days, and kinda stuck with it. I just feel I have more control. Hope this helps! Happy mixing!

Excellent video! This answers so many questions about the technical process. A question: If printing this was is all in-the-box, are there any sonic reasons to not just bounce a mix? You already mentioned some workflow benefits. But isn't most printing done on outboard gear (like a mix bus compressor, etc)? Thanks!

[@PabloLaFrossia]

Thanks for the comment. There’s really no issues with bouncing a mix. Billy Decker bounces his mix and never has issues. I’ve came up from the analog days and printing was how it was done. It kinda stayed with me and it’s part of my workflow. But you can definitely bounce your mix and still get great results!

thanks!

Ok but can't you just ruote them the same way to an aux instead of an audio track and then use commit function on the aux to automatically make the new audio track?

[@PabloLaFrossia]

I think you're still reyling on an offline bounce, instead of actually "recording" your mix. It can be done, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that, just as you can still bounce your mix, but this old method, to me, just feels, safer. Thanks for watching!
