Every fuckin body is trying to teach engineering but I think Wav. Wayne is the best on the net may be the realist audio engineering in the game right now. I'm going to be dope !!!!!!! thanks Wayne
Same thing I was thinking! I just watched a few of his videos and I'm super excited to try out the techniques that he teaches. Another dope one Wayne!!!!!!!
Yes Wayne.wav does have great tutorials but there are also other great tutorials as well by other individuals.. I don't know how many other tutorials you have watched, but here are a few which have taught me alot, pensado's place, busy works beats, help me devon is also good, musician on a mission, behind the speakers, Raw Technique studios, Sean Devine, Audio Pro, ADSR, Sound Oracle, Modern Mixing, Matthew Weiss, Recording Revolution and several others. I have learned a lot from all of these individuals, they each have their own techniques. I respect them all. So the question that I asked earlier is because each of these individuals have said something similar to what Wayne.wav has stated but they also have stated other things. I'm just asking for input thats all no beef.
YO! THIS SAVED ME! I NEVER KNEW TO TURN OFF PRE-FADER MONITORING! (MIND BLOWN) THIS GUY DEFINITELY HAS A GIFT FOR TEACHING. GREAT JOB OF WALKING US THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF YOUR TEACHING US. THUS COVERING ALL POSSIBLE SITUATIONS. PERFECT TUTORIAL BRO!
Just saw Wayne for the first time, I have been in the industry for 40 years and his straight forward with a little humor, as good as it gets. Very cool.
Hey Wayne. I've used a lot of RUclips videos for protools support...I tend not to use it all the time, then come back to it and have forgotten basics. I love your videos and style of communication best! Thank you. You're now my protools guy. :)
I know you focus on hip hop, but your information is so good, it will make it possible for a novice to record classical singers with an orchestra track. That sir, makes you unique as a teacher. Your flair for making learning comfortable is a blessing. Thank you so much for great information.
-6 is a bit hot for me for recording. In fact depending on what plugins I'm using I aim for -18 or -10. Interesting thing if you record everything at say -18 you'll notice everything will sound just a little better. Reason being is that your meters and even wave forms are not showing the quickest transients and peaks, which at -6 are clipping - even though it doesn't look or sound like it it will add up over multiple tracks. With modern recording interfaces theres almost no such thing as a noise floor unless you have a really cheap converter/interface or your recording at -30 or something.
After the pink color being everyone’s favorite I couldn’t focus on the video LOL! I had to stop it for a bit… after all, excellent information! Great job man! Great video! Thank you!
pt7.4 OG lol but I love your teaching methods they help my students understand in a way that allows them to stay in touch and saves my breath lol. thank you king.
My microphone input is too loud. It is a USB microphone that connects directly to the computer, so there is no physical pre amp. Does pro-tools have a pre-amp or how can I do pre-amp with software?
Wayne.wav is clip gain the same as gain staging? I'm having a hard time getting my mixes to sound loud, I always find that my master fader clips when trying to turn up volume.
Great tutuorial but I have a few questions. 1) Preloaded tracks (beat and vocal) - Should I use clip gain to bring up or down to -6db. 2) What is the purpose of the Voume Track meter and how is that different from Clip gain? Response appreciated.
dude for example if you recorded a a track to hot and you already have an audio file in pro tools you can change imput level by puting trimer on track so it dosent have weird distortions when hiting most analog plugins
I’m feeling like my sound not gone be where it should be until I incorporate some quality outboard eqs and compression in my signal path! Levels good... mix arrangement is tight but it’s still not coming out with that fullness . When I listen in the car it don’t bang unless I damn near put it on full blast. WhatuknoGood Wave???
Hey Wayne.. You got some first class info in your vids. Hats off to ya. Here's a thought, or 2, from an old fart. I don't know if using -6 for peaks is a good idea, perhaps you can follow my drift. -12db absolute peaks at RECORDING stage to file. Why ... because anything north (towards 0) will put some form of system Input Gain Distortion, on an already clean signal. Not necessary and more desirable to have a clean signal to work with. at -6dB peaks at 'input recording' you would be trashing the transient harmonics. We can measure distortion long before we can hear it. I know Analogue distortion can be all warm and fuzzy, but now we can easily add as much distortion, saturation, etc as we like AFTER RECORDING the master file, where we have control in playback for the mix, off the clean master file.. How many calibrated devices are there between the vocals.. etc and the speakers? Follow the signal path. The I/O's on each device is calibrated the same, via scale up/down voltages. Playback. Once recorded.. I agree that you shouldn't have absolute peaks beyond -6 on Playback from the clean master file. Why? That's where we can start collecting unintended AD converter sensor artefacts, that can ADD to an already clean signal master. Again... Not necessary and may cause problems down the chain with gear not calibrated for it. Output Masters.. (Mix for the consumer, not the studio) Output values are exactly the same, absolute peaks at -12dBfs, let the averages fall where they may, you are SAFELY IN THE SWEET SPOT. The cleanest Quality sound you can get, with no measurable Input Gain Distortion at the Hot end and Noise floor at the other, is with absolute peaks under -12dBfs. Aiming a few dB's even lower than that, actually gives you more headroom away from system distortion, not less. So now that we have a clean, mixed 2 track Master, ready for Playback, those values become even more important. Why? Simple think about the output calibration on every user Playback device on the planet.. (of your final stereo master file) You guessed it.. (even the user calibrate devices have a factory default of -18) So to put it simply. If you want the most listeners (anywhere in the world) to hear as close to your original master as possible, then calibrate the master to, the input to the power amp for those consumer earphones or speakers. -12 Absolute Peaks all the way through to the final playback is the best you can get out of (almost) any gear, especially cheaper gear that will break up faster than say a mic with better build quality. You can't go wrong using those values on a world scale, with values all over the place.. Sure you can push a 'clean' master all the way up to +8 (AVU) -10dBfs if you want, but you run into the same problem as Andrew Shepp did, or when we tried cutting a vinyl single to +4 (AVU) (-14dBfs) back in 1976. No one has the gear CALIBRATED to play it back properly, other than studios. We can do anything we like to those zero's and ones, but the second it hits that final power amp to the speakers/plugs in the analogue world, the input/output for that power amp is calibrated to -18. The entire process from start to finish is, scaled up or down voltages. The Digital part is purely representational of those voltages. That's all there is to it.. -12 all the way and you're sweet. Benefits... Never sweat on levels again. Minor variations in track to track volumes makes Mastering a snack. Everything in the chain works at it's best. Less computer resources needed. Sound quality translates better across multiple playback algorithms and file types. Using the same value end to end, not only takes out the guess work with confidence, it saves you piles of TIME, leaving more time to create. Equipment manufacturers and technology have achieved staggering improvements to gear specs, so what about the rapidly adopted standard by Spotify of -14LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale)? Simple. You can either let them push/pull your clean master to their standard, or do it yourself. It will be clean. I don't bother, but oddly enough, most of mine are sitting close. As far as I can work out, that technically the safest way to get a signal from signal input to speakers .. Clean.. (regardless of what you've done to it in the mix) The entire signal doesn't have any unwanted extras.. Got it? Ok. Having said all of the above, all that's left is the content and if that's not much chop, then it doesn't matter what gear you have, or even how you use it. Any thoughts... ? Always happy to learn more. Can't find the comment now, but if you have no way to turn up or down the input, head for the operating system sound prefs and do it there. Keep up the good work.. All the best Cheers Pete
@wayne.wav question…I understand wanting -6db on the master fader, but what if let’s say you want to post beats somewhere, you would want the volume of the track to beat to be at a commercial level, so would you maybe have 2 separate sessions…one for mixing and one for mixing/recording? Make sense?
MAHESH FROM INDIA....you said input level should be around negative six...then please guide me at what level the threshold be while using compressor at the time of mixing...as it is preferred around 19...then in your case of negative 6 what should be the level of threshold...?
PT is calibrated for -18db. Although -6db can still be ok at times for peaks and transients is not optimal for gain staging a signal. Not sure where you get your info.
Great tutuorial but I have a few questions. 1) Preloaded tracks (beat and vocal) - Should I use clip gain to bring up or down to -6db. Same question for tracks made with midi instruments... 2) What is the purpose of the Voume Track meter and how is that different from Clip gain? Response appreciated !
Whats going on Wavy Wayne!? Had to thank you again, I was having this exact problem and you saved the day once again. Also How can I become a part of Sauce Records?? lol
What if you don't have a preamp? I know I gotta get one lol. But in the instances where you don't have one for whatever random ass reason, like if you're trapped in a hotel room or some sht lol. Aside from Mic and Source Placement, is there anything you can do, and if so, what?
How do you ensure you have a -6db input level, when you are using plug ins, to create different instruments sounds (drums, piano, etc) when making a beat? Meaning, if I use (for example) a guitar sound from East-West Gypsy (an instrument plug in package) then how do I ensure that sound gets recorded into my Pro Tools track at -6db? Sorry in advance if you already went over this in another video, but this is my first time watching your videos. Thanks
A bro thank you I appreciate it. The settings and stage gaining that I set in logic how do I keep those same settings in pro tools when I dump the music in protools
I know it’s late but why are my vocal waveforms so low when I record? And when I bounce out? It looks crazy small compared to all the waveforms of other songs
So after I bring my input level to -6 db and I bring my beat level a little below that so I can hear myself what do I do next? Do I bring the the beat back up to it’s original volume and then bring my vocals up so I can hear them? I’m so confused.
5:34 I just realized that it would be good idea to turn up the "Pre-Fader Meter" as the 1st thing after I've loaded the STEMS into the empty project. Of course I can change the actual faders BUT as far as I understand the INSERTS are taking the signal BEFORE the track fader which means my VSTz aren't going to work well if my Kick is knocking at -0.01 Is that right? So then I'd want to lower the gain of all the STEMS by 6dB, but how I'm going to do it anyways? I can't do the ClipGain to many clips at the same, can I?. I'f I'd add the TRIM as the 1st insert to all of my channels then I'd need to change the value of each manually. I can change it to let's say -6 and then save it as default preset of the trim, THEN add it (using Shift+Alt) to all of the tracks. Actually the clipping which happens within the strip - between the plugins is what I keep asking myself about. That's also the reason why I always work in 32 bits (session) I just want more headroom everywhere. And obviously DAWs are hiding from us all that clipping on all the stages, but sounds must be getting capped, "sliced off" in many instances, and "ROUNDED" as they call. Obviously we want to avoid this things as much as possible. I guess my question is really about that. And since I do work in 32 mode, Dithering is what I'm looking into. And as for now I'm not sure which Dithering VST/Module to use in ProTools. A.Live and Logic already has POWr3 on board. I'd usually use Triangle for STEMS and POWr3 for Master/Bounce. Of course only when necessary.
What if you tracked using RMS between 20-15? Using this Klanghelm VUMT has standard -18db and also has RMS Meter +3dB shouldn’t I use the VUMT RMS? But what is the sweet spot on this plugin RMS meter? Is it still 0 where the red is? Or is it around -12 in the black? Ty

Apprecite the tip fam. Just got my set up at home so I could pump out more music. Your tips help out A lot bro
best producer i know. learning so much off him nobody on youtube is doing this.

So many things I learn from this man. You make this info easy for my to understand. Thank you Wavy Baby! My favorite audio RUclips channel.
Thanks fam.
Best video on RUclips for recording and mixing levels ✅ !!!
You man Wayne!!! Keep the videos up! I've been mixing for years but I love to see, and hear other producers perspective. Thank you for this!
Wow your info is on point bro!! I had to go back and watch more to up my game. Thank you wavy....
After the pink color being everyone’s favorite I couldn’t focus on the video LOL! I had to stop it for a bit… after all, excellent information! Great job man! Great video! Thank you!

thanx wayne u are speaking my launguage easy to understand straight to the point and matches title ,very helpful time saver.
Wayne...Your magnificence is in your simplicity and clarity.Tnx for your videos.
My guy. I have been on you a couple of years. U keep me fresh.
Who needs full sail when ya got wavy Wayne?! 🔥
My microphone input is too loud. It is a USB microphone that connects directly to the computer, so there is no physical pre amp. Does pro-tools have a pre-amp or how can I do pre-amp with software?
Wavy is sooo coooool - he always makes me smile.
Wavy’s the best in YT
Another nice lesson from Wayne. Best on the web for learning ProTools. Well done.
Wavy bro you are the reason I decided to take audio engineering into my own hands. You make it hella easy
But cant you change the input volume of the track in protools via clip gain. its a volume icon on the waveform
Yo wavy i love your channel keep them coming
Dude, thank you for these vids. Im a novice in recordin n im learnin a ton from u. I'm a Metal artist but all this still applies! Thanks again!
Ive learned so much in just watching 2 videos of yours today. Great content!
Thanks fam!!
Really loved this explanation. Really clear breakdown of how to monitor your gain staging as you mix.
i can understand everything he teach's
Man, you have another career in comedy after engineering! LOL! Keep puttin' it on the bottom shelf so we all can reach it!
Don't tell me that bro, we gonna all be in trouble , LOL thanks!
Wayne.wav is clip gain the same as gain staging? I'm having a hard time getting my mixes to sound loud, I always find that my master fader clips when trying to turn up volume.
Appreciate your teaching fam. Your tips improved my songs by 1000%. I'm glad You Are U. Thanks.
OMG! Thanks SO much for explaining this...in plain English! You're awesome!
So record every track so it PEAKS at -6 or less?
The aim is to average around -6db on the input.
Great tutuorial but I have a few questions. 1) Preloaded tracks (beat and vocal) - Should I use clip gain to bring up or down to -6db. 2) What is the purpose of the Voume Track meter and how is that different from Clip gain? Response appreciated.
How do I get Pre-Fader-Master?
subed and liked this vid as soon as you changed the track to pink cuzz you knew that was my favorite color lol
😂😂🙏🏽
"Record everything." A+
Excellent video, I just aim for -12 input level with the occasional louder peak of -6
Thank you WW I got it. You are the best.
What’s up Wayne hope you see this message 🙏🏼 so in other words keep the mix under 6db on the master fader before sending it to mastering?????
Really good advice for newbies. Thanks Wavy.
Should I mix and master my beats down to -6db then¿
Once again you're on point, thanks for another dope video, this really helps me out just like all your videos. Keep up the good work bro👍👍👍💯💯💯
Perfect Explanation! Plus you made me LOL! Lookin to watch more bro. Thanks from Santa Rosa....Yeeeee
Thank you for the Tips. Been efficient in the studio is the most important thing. 🔥🔥
Dig your channel. You do a great job in these videos. I've learned a lot and I appreciate you.
Reducing clip gain won't bring the input signal down?
Jason Montgomery good question I thought it did
I was hoping so. Can anybody answer?
You have great teaching skills💯💯💯 Thanks
Excellent video. Very clear explanation. Thank you very much man.
Man, just stumbled across this. Brilliant video! You have a new subscriber.
I want all my tracks pink, Wayne. Maybe different shades of yellow for drums. Great tutorial as always.
dude for example if you recorded a a track to hot and you already have an audio file in pro tools you can change imput level by puting trimer on track so it dosent have weird distortions when hiting most analog plugins
I’m feeling like my sound not gone be where it should be until I incorporate some quality outboard eqs and compression in my signal path! Levels good... mix arrangement is tight but it’s still not coming out with that fullness . When I listen in the car it don’t bang unless I damn near put it on full blast. WhatuknoGood Wave???
What DB level should I set for ATR room analyzing my speakers
Hey Wayne.. You got some first class info in your vids. Hats off to ya.
Here's a thought, or 2, from an old fart.
I don't know if using -6 for peaks is a good idea, perhaps you can follow my drift.
-12db absolute peaks at RECORDING stage to file.
Why ... because anything north (towards 0) will put some form of system Input Gain Distortion, on an already clean signal.

How many calibrated devices are there between the vocals.. etc and the speakers?
Follow the signal path. The I/O's on each device is calibrated the same, via scale up/down voltages.
Playback. Once recorded..
I agree that you shouldn't have absolute peaks beyond -6 on Playback from the clean master file.
Why? That's where we can start collecting unintended AD converter sensor artefacts, that can ADD to an already clean signal master.
Again... Not necessary and may cause problems down the chain with gear not calibrated for it.
Output Masters.. (Mix for the consumer, not the studio)
Output values are exactly the same, absolute peaks at -12dBfs, let the averages fall where they may, you are SAFELY IN THE SWEET SPOT.
The cleanest Quality sound you can get, with no measurable Input Gain Distortion at the Hot end and Noise floor at the other, is with absolute peaks under -12dBfs.
Aiming a few dB's even lower than that, actually gives you more headroom away from system distortion, not less.
So now that we have a clean, mixed 2 track Master, ready for Playback, those values become even more important.
Why?
Simple think about the output calibration on every user Playback device on the planet.. (of your final stereo master file)
You guessed it.. (even the user calibrate devices have a factory default of -18)
So to put it simply.
If you want the most listeners (anywhere in the world) to hear as close to your original master as possible, then calibrate the master to, the input to the power amp for those consumer earphones or speakers.
-12 Absolute Peaks all the way through to the final playback is the best you can get out of (almost) any gear, especially cheaper gear that will break up faster than say a mic with better build quality.
You can't go wrong using those values on a world scale, with values all over the place..
Sure you can push a 'clean' master all the way up to +8 (AVU) -10dBfs if you want, but you run into the same problem as Andrew Shepp did, or when we tried cutting a vinyl single to +4 (AVU) (-14dBfs) back in 1976.
No one has the gear CALIBRATED to play it back properly, other than studios.
We can do anything we like to those zero's and ones, but the second it hits that final power amp to the speakers/plugs in the analogue world, the input/output for that power amp is calibrated to -18.
The entire process from start to finish is, scaled up or down voltages. The Digital part is purely representational of those voltages.
That's all there is to it.. -12 all the way and you're sweet.
Benefits...
Never sweat on levels again.
Minor variations in track to track volumes makes Mastering a snack.
Everything in the chain works at it's best.
Less computer resources needed.
Sound quality translates better across multiple playback algorithms and file types.
Using the same value end to end, not only takes out the guess work with confidence, it saves you piles of TIME, leaving more time to create.
Equipment manufacturers and technology have achieved staggering improvements to gear specs, so what about the rapidly adopted standard by Spotify of -14LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale)?
Simple.
You can either let them push/pull your clean master to their standard, or do it yourself. It will be clean.
I don't bother, but oddly enough, most of mine are sitting close.
As far as I can work out, that technically the safest way to get a signal from signal input to speakers .. Clean.. (regardless of what you've done to it in the mix)
The entire signal doesn't have any unwanted extras.. Got it? Ok.
Having said all of the above, all that's left is the content and if that's not much chop, then it doesn't matter what gear you have, or even how you use it.
Any thoughts... ?
Always happy to learn more.
Can't find the comment now, but if you have no way to turn up or down the input, head for the operating system sound prefs and do it there.
Keep up the good work..
All the best
Cheers Pete
Another great tutorial bro! Can you do one on your options for what you put on your master bus when reaching the stage of mastering a record?
You want all the Sauce?! lol fasho tho, I got you.
hahaha Just curious what your take is on it. You explain things really well man. Thanks for helping out the engineering community!
@@waynewav same here!
great teaching bro. look forward to more of your videos
I just started getting into engineer and mixing . These videos are perfect bro ! Thank for providing so much value and great content !!
i need a How to Set Recording Levels In UAD console big bro
@wayne.wav question…I understand wanting -6db on the master fader, but what if let’s say you want to post beats somewhere, you would want the volume of the track to beat to be at a commercial level, so would you maybe have 2 separate sessions…one for mixing and one for mixing/recording? Make sense?

Great tutuorial but I have a few questions. 1) Preloaded tracks (beat and vocal) - Should I use clip gain to bring up or down to -6db. Same question for tracks made with midi instruments...
2) What is the purpose of the Voume Track meter and how is that different from Clip gain? Response appreciated !
Is there a stand alone vu meter to use I don’t have plug ins ?
You the truth man‼️
Do you have a video for cleaning vocals?? Her voice sounds sooooooooo crisp.... Great job, Bruv.
Yooooo I love how you do your videos and be straight forward to showing how to do these things. Can you do a video on how to stack vocals
Thanks bro! And yes I will do that video soon!
Whats going on Wavy Wayne!? Had to thank you again, I was having this exact problem and you saved the day once again. Also How can I become a part of Sauce Records?? lol
What if you don't have a preamp? I know I gotta get one lol. But in the instances where you don't have one for whatever random ass reason, like if you're trapped in a hotel room or some sht lol. Aside from Mic and Source Placement, is there anything you can do, and if so, what?
If I can't get in a soundproof booth, what is a good level for input level to hover around when no sound. ie ambient bedroom?
when recording midi using midi keyboard, do you set levels also so that it don't clip/create distortion
How do you ensure you have a -6db input level, when you are using plug ins, to create different instruments sounds (drums, piano, etc) when making a beat? Meaning, if I use (for example) a guitar sound from East-West Gypsy (an instrument plug in package) then how do I ensure that sound gets recorded into my Pro Tools track at -6db?
Sorry in advance if you already went over this in another video, but this is my first time watching your videos. Thanks
A bro thank you I appreciate it. The settings and stage gaining that I set in logic how do I keep those same settings in pro tools when I dump the music in protools
Dawg u bn taking me to school for the past 2 days on my in home studio
Think you could do a de-essing video or a live mix session?
Can you please do a video on how to convert a MONO AUDIO TRACK TO A STEREO AUDIO TRACK FOR RECORDING VOCALS??
I know it’s late but why are my vocal waveforms so low when I record? And when I bounce out? It looks crazy small compared to all the waveforms of other songs
Try turning up the gain on your interface or preamp
Can you do a tutorial about getting the best results possible when recording in an untreated room?

Keep it up man. Great video. Can you do how to mix RnB ad libs
Hell yea! RnB and pop vocals are my favorite!
Wayne.wav perfect. Idk how to make ad libs and harmonies sound good and can’t find any videos on it
So are you saying that the beat should also be set to -6?
What if you tracked using RMS between 20-15? Using this Klanghelm VUMT has standard -18db and also has RMS Meter +3dB shouldn’t I use the VUMT RMS? But what is the sweet spot on this plugin RMS meter? Is it still 0 where the red is? Or is it around -12 in the black? Ty
Great lesson Wayne. (full disclosure - I don't even know who Little John is lol)
Wayne.wav with another great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro can you do a tutorial on how to load your preset into protools after downloading them?

Salute King I appreciate it Wavy
How did you get your input meters to show -6db? Mines only show 0 - +15db
MMM Beats sane question I’m not seeing it
Yo, love your videos. I cant get signal to show in my protools. Everything working, just no meter signal. How do i turn it on?
That’s strange, are you hearing the signal
But meters not moving?
Exactly
Ideas? Its gotta be a box thats nit checked or turned on ir something stupid like that, but its driving me crazy
