Hi I'm thinking harder and harder about my mixes and have been reading this (written for renoise, but should apply to every DAW, so any ardour users/devs, please speak up!): http://www.renoise.com/indepth/tutorials/avoid-clipping-in-your-final-mix/ I didn't get why it should be better to have the master fader fixed at 0db. Well a tiny bit better, but still, supposed I have 30+ tracks, each having (at least) a fader, does it really matter that much to have another fader in there? I mean the alternative would be to pull *every* channel fader down by say 1.5db if the track is clipping with 1.5db. In such case I just reach for the master fader and pull it 1.5db, problem solved. I raised my doubts on the renoise forum (http://www.renoise.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24975), and I still don't get it, really sounds like either voodoo or peanuts to me. Could all you clever and sensible people with good ears and technical knowledge please enlighten me :-) Would it really make a difference to keep the master fader fixed at 0db? Looking forward to a second opinion on this very baffling issue! -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
