Description
This week Chris is going solo (JP is couldn't make the show this week) and getting nerdy, dry, and detailed. This topic is what separates the pros from the noobs. Take notes, apply to your recordings and you'll be cooking your audio at a nice medium rare and making better-sounding music.
We get into...
- Gain-staging throughout the entire recording chain.
- Why DAWS and peak meters will lead you astray.
- Peak vs. RMS levels
- What the "sweet spot" is and how to hit it
- Digital reference levels
- The difference between 16, 24, and 32-bit.
- How to set levels when recording.
