    Here is my view bro.
    According to the acoustic principle, every time the same frequency hits, the sound level will go up. (Imagine this, you have four channels, all playing the same track in the same level, like +9db, but you put all faders up, you definitely gonna hear much more louder than +9db with only one track.)
    So, let's say you stay track A just under the red, like +9db, no red, good. But no matter how you mix, once you mix in a track B, you will hit the red level actually (but you can't see red everywhere on the mixer, but your sound is distorting).
    Then, if you set track A to +6db when you mix track B with it, it probably just rises to +7db, +8db, no red in the end.
    At the last, the space between +6db is the 'headroom' that you need to save for the mixing and FXs.
    Peace.

      Eh, I always play in the yellow and its zero distortion and sounds great, if its not turning on the limiter you are fine. IE in the red...

    Where can I find this song? The first track which looks like it's titled "Spend the Night Final Master Main"

    Just because both songs are playing at -9dB DOESN'T mean they're equally loud! Loudness is not equal to peak dB. You must match loudness by ear as far as I understand.

      I agree with your statement. This is especially true with older music that has less compression. Sometimes the drums & highs peak but the vocals and mids are too soft.

    The problem is that even if you adjust gain, when you start the second song with the same level's volume knob of first song, often the second song is or too loud or too light than first song. Why? And how could correct this?

    • @davidrowan3853
      @davidrowan3853 2 года назад

      Because not all songs are created the same, you can and probably should turn the gain on the song you're bring in down slightly, maybe one tick or click, or even just half a one, then adjust its as you mix it in when needed.

    • @Deathdrummer195
      @Deathdrummer195 2 года назад

      because gain is not equal to loudness

    How do you adjust records levels with a mixer without gain???

    • @bhaktabilly4669
      @bhaktabilly4669 3 года назад +2

      You can only control the quietest record in this case. That means you should leave extra “headroom” on each level in case one track ends up being too quiet
