Hey guys, just thought oI’d teach you guyys a little about mixing and mastering. Fill you in on what I’ve learned so far in school, pro pointers. Boosting your volumes then throwing a limiter on is not the proper way, or putting a soundgoodizer on your master track that’s very wrong. So for you people that are having troubles and for people that are giving false pointers. This is for you, enjoy.
These techniques apply to whatver program you are using.
