Pre-Fader vs Post-Fader Metering in Luna DAW
Download your Free EQ Cheat Sheet, Compression Cheat Sheet, & Vocal Recording Guide at www.mixinglessons.com/free-downloads
In today’s video, I’m diving into the important topic of pre-fader metering vs. post-fader metering. While I’m demonstrating this in LUNA, the concepts apply to any DAW you’re using!
Understanding what your DAW's meters are showing you is crucial for maintaining proper levels throughout your mix. It helps you avoid common pitfalls like accidental clipping, which can occur when you’re using the wrong type of metering without realizing it.
In this video, I’ll break down:
- A demonstration of the difference between pre-fader and post-fader meters
- When pre-fader metering is...

    Hi Alex, that was a really good insight about the tempo changing that I didn't know about, thanks for that. I'm not sure if you may remember but a few weeks ago I asked you about placing an incidental effect on a track on a certain part rather than all the way through and I would like to request that to be shown as I think a lot of Luna users may not aware of a way to do this. I'm doing fine with Luna by the way, ( on Windows ) my only gripe at this stage is Luna does not recognise and show some of my plugin's even though they are vst3 mainly Soundtoys and Kontackt to mention a couple. Have you experienced the like yourself? many thanks Phil.

    • @mixinglessons
      @mixinglessons 20 дней назад

      Hi Phil, yes I remember. I'm glad to hear that Luna is working out well for you. I haven't experienced any issues with plugins not being recognized myself. It might be worth contacting their support to see if this is a known issue. And thanks for the suggestion, I'll make a vid on this in the coming weeks. Many thanks!

  • @PipEastop
    @PipEastop 22 дня назад

    Thank you. That's very helpful and very clear. I was hoping you were going to explain how to make the click change to two per beat or perhaps three per beat. This would be useful if the music slowed down and a subdivided click was required. I don't even know if this is possible, and it looks to me like it isn't. A possible feature request for Luna? There have been a few very useful videos about adding a click track to a prerecorded bit of music with varying tempo, then making other tracks conform to it using "time" and "tempo" setting. Beat-mapping, I think it's called. You're very good at explaining, so it would always be helpful to have that all talked-through again, maybe even better than the previous tutorials.

    • @mixinglessons
      @mixinglessons 22 дня назад

What's the difference? My Luna seems to be setup with Post-fader metering and I don't know why it would be that way around. Which is best and in what circumstances? If you can make that concept easier to understand it would be a great help. Thank you!

      @PipEastop 11 дней назад

      @@mixinglessons It would also be great if you could do a tutorial on different mastering methods. In particular I'd like to know why so many people make a mix of everything into stereo and then import that into a new session to master it. Are there disadvantages to doing everything all at once, given that computers are now so powerful that they can do this quite easily? Thanks!

    • @mixinglessons
      @mixinglessons 8 дней назад

      Hey, thanks so much for the suggestion 😊 Mastering should definitely be done in a separate session from mixing, as it's more than just stereo bus processing. The goals in a mastering session are quite different from those in mixing. For instance, mastering can achieve balance and consistency across all the tracks on an album, in terms of levels, dynamics, frequency response, etc. To accomplish this, all the songs from an album need to be imported into a dedicated mastering session. I’ll definitely look into making a video on this topic in the coming weeks.

    Straight, clear and to the point. Thank you for that. Trying to decide if I'd actually need these after purchasing UAD's Distressor?

    • @mixinglessons
      @mixinglessons Месяц назад

      Thank you very much. 🙂 Good question. The Distressor can do a great job of emulating an 1176. I have both, but the 1176 still tends to be my first choice for fast compression. This is largely down to its simplicity and how easy it is to dial in. I opt for the Distressor if I need greater control. So for me, perhaps it's more to do with workflow and familiarity with the 1176, because in terms of sound, the Distressor can absolutely get a similar result. Certainly, if I could only have access to one compressor, it would be the Distressor for its versatility.

    Can you summing before you start the actual mix processing or is summing something you do after you’re done with the mix for final polishing?

    • @mixinglessons
      @mixinglessons Месяц назад

      You could do it either way, but I generally add the extensions early on and mix into them.

  • @aleciocosta7346
    @aleciocosta7346 Месяц назад

    For mastering, certainly an EQ before the compressor has more benefits or you can add a sidechain HPF to this compressor . For mixing individual signals the analysis will depend as the author comments here : an acoustic guitar with bumps at 220-320 will certainly sound better in a busy mix if you EQ first, making the compressor work more relaxed as the next processing block.

And yes, you can input your parts using your mouse rather than a MIDI controller or electric kit. I hope this helps!
