@ Francisco Guerra: It is best to master at the highest resolution as possible, preferably at what you recorded at. Mastering is where all down-sampling (going from 48k and above down to 44.1) and dithering (going from 24-bit and above down to 16-bit) occurs. This is not to say you can't do this inside of your mix, but most mastering engineers like to work with the highest resolution file as possible. Also, I have my peaks at -10dB – this is accomplished by balancing my mix's levels track-by-track. I never really like to use a Limiter while I'm mixing, but that's not to say I won't if I feel it is necessary in certain cases. One reason I would use a Limiter in my mix would be to provide a client a mix with Mastering levels. In this scenario I would bypass the Limiter after I've bounced the file, as it is just to allow my client to hear the mix at a "commercial level".?

Very nice video. The only thing I don't understand is how you set up each track. Like you have the master fader going into one thing then that going into the other. How do you set it up like that? Maybe you can make a video showing that set up process?

Brian, when I bounce the original track from the original mix at -10db for the template, do I take off maxim and comp plugins that are loaded in Master track? Or just lower tracks to -10db, and keep the master plug ins (maxim, comp) on? Nice video. Educational definitely.?
