Vely vely sneaky.

Very useful tip, thanks!

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

I thought so too! Glad you agree!

It’s not up to the musician to finesses levels that’s the engineers job. Turn up the preamp or his amp. No need to manipulate anyone. Or just ask the person to turn up their ax.

You have to assume that you already have the levels set correctly and the monitor being too loud is the problem. Most players won't say "I'm too loud in the mix", but naturally start playing more lightly which will, as shown, result in low signal strength.

whoa your comment is soooo wrong.

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

@@superblondeDotOrg It is??

[@superblondeDotOrg]

@@GaragebandandBeyond yea the other comment is veerrrry wrong " not up to the musician to finesses levels " ehhh it is 1,000% the player's job to control their playing emphasis and tone and timbre, literally the definition of being a musician. the tip in this video is totally correct.

I have been following your tutorials for years and you have just confused me. On here you said to keep levels between 50 and 75, but for years you have been saying between 25 and 50. ???

GREAT QUESTION! Lately I have been experimenting with slightly hotter signals. For the tutorials and for beginning engineers it's better to keep things in the 50% range for sure, to keep it all easy and civilized. But if you want to start pushing the saturation on some plugins I find it's better to run a little hotter. Thanks for watching!
