This is a fine video and all. I’ve never understood why people have such a hard time with this concept, esp with modeled plugins. It’s something anyone who works with a guitar and an amp should easily grasp. Plug guitar into amp, turn up volume of guitar all the way up. Turn amp on. Turn gain of amp up til it distorts. Turn volume on guitar volume down until it doesn’t distort. Control distortion with volume knob on guitar. Same concept with modeled plugs in a DAW.

also if you use fab filter the threshhold of the dynamics are all defaulted to -18dfs. I find a lot more plug and play workflow when everything is gainstaged. You can add stuff and just see how it sounds rather then adding and adjusting. I just wish it were easier to see -18dfs on the logic meters. Its the spot to focus on and yet the scaling of the meter means you have no hardly any visual feed back on the meter 🤓 just a wimpy bounce at the bottom of the meter. Silly stuff. But logic is still cool. Just illogical meters.

Ok so let’s say you have everything set to -18. Then when you add compressors, eq’s etc that will add more gain. So my question is what is the limit to how much gain you can/should add via effects to your dry signal?

-18 is a 'guide', but if you're steadfast and want to maintain that level, you can always use limiters or compressors' "make-up gain" features to bring your levels back to-18. For as many plugins that are there to raise gain, there are equally as many to reduce it.
@thaddeuscorea5 жыл бұрын
Great video!!! Thank you. So, I have many questions. I do use many plugs that need correct gain staging to hit the modeled "sweet spots". 1. If the following is true (or even close) "-18dbFS=0vu" then , (e.g. - drum recording) if we were really recording analog, I would certainly be letting some peaks fly above 0 on my VU meters especially Snare and Kick. So wouldn't I look to set my digital peaks to more like -12 or -8 in order to recreate the levels expected by analog-style plugs? 2. What is the significance of buss clipping in Logic? Does it only matter if I am using processing on the buss? 3. Sometimes my drum buss may be clipping 2 or 3 db. Will that cause distortion at the Master Output? 4. Does Logic reduce the outputs of the busses in order to sum them at the output?

Thanks Thaddeus! To answer your questions: 1. I say play around and see what sounds good! The -18 dBFS is a guide, and not a rule. I can get neurotic, and will try to make sure no peak exceeds 0 VU. But sometimes you want that little bit of saturation :) 2. In Logic, clipping really only matters once you hit the Stereo Output. Every channel and bus could technically be clipping (at the mix stage), but as long as the whole mix is below 0 dB on the Stereo Output, you're good to go. With that said, if you're using analog style processing anywhere in the chain (channel or bus), you'll want to manage your levels as explained in the video. 3. Again, the drum bus clipping will only cause problems if the Stereo Output is clipping. 4) Logic doesn't reduce bus outputs for summing. Hope that helps!

Can this method of normalizing the region gain be applied as a final step of mixing? Also if youve already drew in automation for every track?Thanks!
@slowpokeproductions4 жыл бұрын
You could, but that could be a nightmare...at least in the FINAL stage of mixing as you stated. If you've done all your automation, and you still need normalization, I would consider compressing your stereo or master buss and gain stage it in your final mix. This way you wouldn't have to re-automate and you wouldn't lose the articulations you so painstakingly applied. If you're satisfied with your mix, but you're still low on level overall, that's what I would suggest. I just mastered several mixes for a client whose levels were dreadfully low on each track, but he liked the mixes, so I just compressed the stereo buss, raised the gain, EQd a bit, and voila...mixes saved. I'm now doing the client's entire catalogue! Hope that helps.

Long story short analog gear color is harmonic distortion that is reacting to the amplitude. So you'd better get your amplitude right before your analog emulation plugin. To take this further, the amplitude getting clipped isn't just one homogeneous absolute dB value, it applies to each individual frequency's amplitude. So EQ adjustments before or after the emulated analog plugin will have different sounds compared to each other too. And lastly compression can make the quieter harmonics loud enough that they can get further harmonic distortion, so compression before or after the emulated analog plugin will have different sounds compared to each other as well. As an electric guitar player with 40 pedals on my board I can confidently say gain staging is real and that the order of your plugins will have a massive affect on the final sound.

I've heard from sound guys that when recording to digital it's best to aim between -12dB and -6dB, -12dB being on the safe side. The -18dB comes from the relationship between VU and FS meters, as far as I understand it, 0 dB VU = -18 FS and it's the supposed best level to hit the subsequent plug ins at. I'm learning this myself, so take it with a grain of salt.

Peak will normalize to the highest peaks in the track which may or may not be desirable, although it does increase the entire level of the whole track. Loudness normalizes based on what the human ear expects to hear and averages the volume overall, not necessarily having to apply gain over the whole performance. I hope I explained that properly lol. In other words, loudness would treat the valleys and peaks independently and average out the signal to be louder, but palatable, and peak would raise level closer to the loudest parts of the performance.

Stereo field and level balance are two different things. Normalization will affect the level balance of your mix, but will not affect instrument placement in your stereo field.

Your level automation points won't change after normalization either, so you'll have to redo your track automations. Hope that helps.

Great video, but when I try to use the Region Gain Normalization, it doesn't work for me. For example, my kick is around -11dB in the channel strip meter.

Any idea why this is happening?
@alexbreyer69214 жыл бұрын
I try not to use the normalization command, mostly because it's harder to change it if you want to later in the mix. Shooting for -18dBfs is smart, but every now and then you find you need to hit the processing harder. So, instead of normalization, I go to the region inspector window on the left. There is a place to type in gain, plus or minus. So if your audio is -11dBfs just type in there -7. It takes longer to listen to and adjust each track, but I usually know what sort of plugin I might try and i can hear how it is hitting that for effect. I find that since I gain stage more, my individual tracks sound less impactful alone, but group bus and and things like a parallel crush can really add impact to your tone.

Thanks for the video very helpful. But unfortunately i can't make it work. I turn the gain at +24 in the logic gain plugin and turn down -24 in the logic eq plugin, i still ear the sound. what do i missed in the process. Can you help me please. Best Regard

Hey Kawin, it depends on what you're test-driving the Channel EQ on. Are you using duplicate Drummer Tracks or instances of Alchemy? Because that will do it.

Hi! Maybe you didn't combine it with a second track with inverted phase: see 04:30

You didn't flip the phase on one of the tracks, most likely.

This is an awesome explanation. Well thought out with excellent examples. And the tip to have Logic set the gain automatically at the end of the video is great!
