      @johncaccioppo1142 4 года назад +1

      Maybe you can explain something for me. I suspect that the engineering principle behind this has everything to do with the power quality of each link in the signal chain. If that's true, you would drive your signal from the perspective of not just "how everyone does it", or from one end of the chain versus the other, but rather in terms of the quality of your equipment and its power supplies. Does that make sense to you, and has anyone ever posed gain-staging to you in this context before?

  • @kellv3n
    @kellv3n 4 года назад +7

    For FL Studio, my idea is to do the following:
    - If recording vocals, have the Hornet VU Meter set at -18DB with max peak of -12DB for 0VU. Run a few live takes and see how the gain is adjusted automatically. Set the gain on your microphone or interface to adjust so you are close to this mark. This way you won't be recording too hot or too cold.
    - On the mixer, put the Hornet VU meter on the first insert of each channel. Run the Hornet VU meter again so it adjusts and sits at that target volume range.
    - Now you are ready to mix.
    - An additional step is to put the Hornet on the Master and bump up the volume to whatever level you are looking for (to have the loudest possible mix).
    I'm new to this so this is all based on logical thinking. Not sure if it will work or not.

      You're right but i'd say you dont even have to use the Utility audio effect for that.. Just turn it down in the clip view settings. And for instance, if you're using an instrument vst and you want to gainstage, turn down the volume on the vst and not the fader on your DAW.

    • @jackhammer8061
      @jackhammer8061 4 года назад

      Nah actually Ableton’s Utility plug-in doesn’t do any clipping, it’s just for controlling the gain, width, M/S balance, panning & the phase - but it doesn’t actually clip any peaks.

    I’m glad someone explained this correctly. There’s a lot of false gain staging videos out there. Some people say that it’s not necessary but it works for me. The only time these rules don’t apply is when you are purposely clipping tracks through an analog plugin and turning the output down on the plugin.

    • @jackhammer8061
      @jackhammer8061 4 года назад +3

      That’s useful but what he’s talking about in the video is using a hard clipper, I’m not in FL so I’m not sure if it has one but I know there’s a dope free one called G-clip you can find in KVR. The thing is if you’re not using a true clipper on your bus/groups then you’re just balancing the plain volume and your limiter will be overworked in the master and you’ll get a more unsteady result whenever there’s high peaks and you won’t be able to push the limiter levels as high as you could otherwise. It’s how producers are getting those insane +6dB masters these days haha

  • @jackhammer8061
    @jackhammer8061 4 года назад +1

    Absolutely! For newer producers one of the biggest pitfalls with mixing I think is leveling the dB on/in/from the synth or sampler or the plugins in processing chain of that channel and not on the channel fader level itself - but it’s ALL about the RMS dB level of the channel it’s self POST processing. My shit was jacked up for the longest time until I realized that lol.
    Hard clipping on the group/bus level is also a amazing “secret” that allows you to get absurdly loud (like +4dB lmfao!) tracks in the mastering stage because the limiters aren’t over-worked with taming a bunch of high peaks all over the place and it’s all perfectly leveled off. It’s how all the pros at the top of the industry are getting such a loud masters right now.
    This video should be considered a mandatory public service announcement for all producers. Excellent shit.

    When I saw this video a couple of years ago, I wondered why you clip gained-5.6 and why you committed to that number. I then transported over a beat did into pro tools and tried your process. What I discovered, after I added a vu meter to my mixbus insert, was that it got me close to 0db. Why I mention this? Because, whether an intentional or unintentional guess, or just wanting headroom, your ear is really sharp and yes my kick was originally hitting around the same gain wise. Kudos big dawg, to me, that’s impressive.

    I always wondered why ableton's drum rack would default in at -12db, but now I get it. It's essentially already gain-staging. I remember I turned it up to -0db and my compressors went up into the red instantly. Couldn't work out why. Now I understand. Thank you Devon, you are talented at explaining things clearly.

    In Reapee you don’t have to worry about that if the signal is too hot just turn the fader down, and it turns down the signal as well. Thanks for the great explanation though!
